Ms.DeWeese's 8th Grade Social Studies

Hello everyone!

The end of the 1st six weeks is coming up!  Since progress reports are coming up, I wanted to give all students the opportunity to make their grades the best they can be.  This week students will given a missing assignment report and folder with the missing assignments in it if they have any missing assignments.  Students (and guardians) with grades below a C will also recieve an email about their grade.

Students can either make up work, do quiz corrects or turn in missing work that was lost or turned in without a name on it to help their grades.  I have many no name papers hanging in the student center of my classroom.  I encourage everyone with missing assignments to check there first before doing the make up work.  All make up work is due Friday September 16th for the first grading period.  

Quiz corrections for quiz #1 were given out last Friday and are due Tuesday, September 6.  I will extend this deadline to Friday, September 9th.  Quiz corrections for quiz #2 were given out Tuesday, September 6 and will be due Friday, September 9th.

Make up work folders will be handed out one day this week as well as Monday of next week.  Students can turn the missing work into the late work paper holder by the windows in my classroom.  Students who need extra assistance with make up work can stay after school with me on Wednesday the 7th or 14th for additional help.  Limited bus transportation is provided for opportunities like this.  Email me at [email protected] if you are interested in having your child stay after and I will give you more information about transportation.

Please don't hesitate to call or email me about your child's grades.  I want to do everything I can to help them be successful!  Ask your children to see their missing assignment report this week.  If they receive one and show it to you, I ask that you sign it as well so I know that you are aware of their grade.

Thanks for your help from home!
