Progress reports went home on Friday, 9-16-2011. I encourage you and your child to regularly check grades on STI (which is currently down - gotta love technology!). Several students have come to ask how they can improve their grade...
Before you ask, check this list:
1. Are you doing your homework and assignments on time?
2. Do you double-check your work for mistakes?
3. Do those assignments get turned in on time?
4. Do you ask appropriate questions in class?
5. Do you truly listen when instructions are given?
6. Do you study for tests/quizzes (more than one day in advance)?
7. Do you take notes when it's time to take notes?
8. Do you review those notes?
9. Is your binder organized into four main sections (Dailies, Notes/Handouts, Classwork, Homework) so it's easy to find materials?10. Are you keeping materials in their appropriate sections? Are you bringing what you need to class on a daily basis?
11. Do you truly read the assignment?
12. Do you use a dictionary or thesaurus when you don't understand words?
13. Do you use your class time wisely? If you finish early, do you go back and review?
14. Do you take part in extra credit when it is available? Remember, extra credit is not offered on an individual basis!
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR RAISING YOUR GRADE!!!
