6. Grades *Each nine weeks the report card grade will be made up of the following grades: Daily and Major grades are weighted 50% each. Reading- 9 grades total: at least 3 major and 6 daily Language Arts- 9 grades total: at least 3 major and 6 daily Math-9 grades - at least 3 major and 6 daily grades Science/ Social Studies- 9 grades each total: at least 3 major and 6 daily grades. *These are minimum amounts, there may be times when there are more grades in each subject area.

7. Re-teaching and Reassessment Re-teaching is a necessary component in mastery of the taught curriculum. Re-teaching must occur whenever the teacher determines that a student has not mastered the objective(s) in the taught curriculum at the independent practice or assessment level. The decision as to how to reassess objectives that are re-taught is the option of the classroom teacher. Retesting guidelines apply to major grades only. Daily grades, quizzes, and projects are not included in the retesting guidelines. Students who received a score of 74 or below on a major grade must retest; the retest may include items from all objectives covered on the original assessment or only those objectives not mastered by the student. In the event of a retest, the teacher will reteach necessary objects. The highest grade that may be earned on a retest is 75.

8. Homework and Digital Resources Your child has access to multiple digital resources to assist them in meeting their academic goals. Each student will be given a digital resource card with url addresses usernames and passwords for each of these resources. Classroom teachers and campus specialists are training students on how to use these websites in class so that they can access them at home. Here are the digital resources we will use in 2nd grade. www.reflexmath.com (Reflex Math) www.educationgalaxy.com (Education Galaxy) www.khanacademy.com (khan Academy) www.fortbendisd.com (Schoology) www.readtheory.com (Read Theory) There is no assigned or required homework in 2nd grade. Parents can decide which resources their child will benefit from using at home, and students can work at their own pace on their own time. Teachers and specialist will assign digital lessons for the students to work on in class or at home each week that follow curriculum standards.

16. Incomplete and Missing Work All graded work will need to be completed at school. In the event of an absence, student practice work may be sent home to work on. If students are unable to complete work in the given time frame, they may be allotted one extra week. At that time, the work will be collected and graded as is. We give students ample time to complete their graded work, however, in the event that a student needs additional time, Ms. Daniel and I have a 45 minute study hall each Friday for students who need extra time to complete their graded work.

17. Dismissal and Severe Weather Days Students should have a dismissal plan in place for every day. In the event of a change, we must be notified by the parents or the student will be sent home according to their regular dismissal plan. Severe Weather- A severe weather dismissal will only be called in case of thunder or lightning. Rain alone is not cause for the severe weather dismissal to be called. In the event of an unforeseen heavy rain, students may be held for a few extra minutes while we wait for it to clear.

18. Communication We will e-mail newsletters to parents each week. Please read for important information regarding, objectives, school sponsored events, field trips, and test dates. If you want to reach use by phone, you can call at anytime. However, during school hours, the phone will not ring in our rooms, it will go straight to voice mail. We will return calls during our conference time or after school. On days that we have meetings or conferences though, we may not return calls right away. If you need to change your child s transportation, please send a note, or email to your child s homeroom teacher prior to 2:00pm.
