Following Up on Your Academy Check - In and an Explanation of the Gradebook!

Good Morning!!  I hope you woke up on the right side of the bed and have a bunch of energy today because some of you have your work cut out for you :)  While some of you may have already noticed, I left a number of assignments with no grade in the grade book before the progress reports were due - I'll explain why live in person today, however, those blank spots have now been filled in with a "0" indicating that the assignment has not been completed.  Today is your one and only day (90 minutes) to complete and submit those assignments.  Some have been on Schoology since the first day of the semester (I don't just post these assignments for fun) and they are still incomplete.

Here is the protocol -

1.  Find an assignment in Infinite Campus with a "0".  If the assignment is marked with an "M" for missing you may not make it up!
2.  Complete the assignment.  You can complete it using the link provided, type your responses into an email or even hand write your responses and turn it in - whatever is easiest for you!
3.  Any assignments submitted electronically, you must also complete a post it note with your name and each assignment completed.  You will hand that post it note to me (or the substitute) at the end of the class period so that I can then check what assignments you have successfully completed.
4.  Once you have completed all of your assignments for my class, this time can/should be used to:

  • Complete you FAFSA (DUE MARCH 2nd)
  • Research and Apply for Scholarships
  • Contact the school you plan to attend and register for placement exams/get answers to questions you might have about enrollment
  • Complete any/all work for your other classes
This time is dedicated to you and should be taken full advantage of!  Today is a study hall - you should be sitting in your assigned seats and should be working quietly and on your own.  I will not accept assignments from the first few weeks of school after today so assignments not completed in class that are marked with a "0" should be completed by midnight tonight.  You can find the corresponding assignments in Schoology.  The assignments in Infinite Campus have the same title as those in Schoology so your missing assignments should be easy to find!

If you have any questions, concerns, etc. please be sure to email me during class so that you can move forward with your assignments and be successful!

Thank you in advance for an outstanding work period.  I will have your new, updated grades by Tuesday of next week!!  I will also collect your JA Finance Park Workbook next Tuesday.  As of today, every single page up through page 25 should be complete!  No exceptions!  With that said ... lets get to work!!

How much work do you and your 2nd period classmates have to make up?  As of this morning:

9 students have F's
11 students have D's
3 students have C's
3 students have B's
1 student has an A

Again, no late work will be accepted after todays block period ... so submit the work, complete a post it note and return it to the sub before the end of class!!  No exceptions!
