Week ahead

Hello everyone,

GEAUX TIGERS! What a win! I hope the Saints will win as well today!!

Remember that conferences are being held this week. Wednesday- early dismissal at 12:30 (no busses!) due to conferences. Regular school day Thursday, no school Friday. If you cannot attend your scheduled conference, please email one of your child's teachers.

6th grade- Quiz Thursday 10/14 on 3.1 (Mean, Median, Mode, Range). Review sheets will go home Monday. Spiral 9 will go home this Tuesday, due Tuesday 10/19.

7th grade- Test Thursday 10/14 on 3.6 & 3.7 (Solving and graphing inequalities). Review sheets will go home Monday. Spiral 9 will go home this Tuesday, due Tuesday 10/19.



I will give out new ledger sheets this week. It is very important to keep these up-to-date. Students are given class-time to fill these out. Remember- you can do the calculataions at home if you run out of time, but there is always time in class to record the assignment, points earned, and points possible. It is important to record the assingment rather than just "hw" (for example, record "pg. 18 # 2 - 24 even").
 
All students will start off the nine weeks with a homework "freebie" which does not count on spirals. A student may use the freebie at any time of the nine weeks and will not receive points for that particular homework assignment. Any other missed homework after that will be recorded as a 0/3. One of my students suggested that I give a bonus point to students who have not used their freebie over the nine weeks- and I agree with this! New policy this nine weeks.
 
Spiral reminder- they are worth 5 points and are checked for accuracy, not completion as homeworks are checked. Per SAS handbook policy, 5 point or less assignments are not accepted late (unless student has an excused absence on that day). You may always turn in spirals early. If you are struggling to get these turned in on time, tell yourself they are due on Mondays (or better yet, Fridays!) to get them turned in on time.
 
This nine weeks I will begin deducting points for students who do not write their full first and last name and student number.
 
Remember- please get those spirals checked before you turn them in!
 
Have a wonderful week everyone, and let's go Saints!!
 
Mrs. Serpas
