Friday 9/11

We took our first common assessment of the year, and on the whole, my honors classes did quite well! Here are the new performance bands for common-core based assessments:

Level 4: Standards Exceeded

Level 3: Standards Met

Level 2: Standards Nearly Met

Level 1: Standards Not Met

"Standards Exceeded" and "Standards Met" both represent passing grades for Common Assessments, Final Exams, and the CAASPP test at the end of the year. If you didn't reach your goals this time, don't panic. But please make some adjustments right away to ensure your performance improves as the year continues. We want everyone to be able to demonstrate mastery!

Parents: Ask your son or daughter how they did on today's common assessment. More importantly, ask them why they think those were their results. If they're not pleased with their scores thus far, ask them what plan they'll be enacting to be more successful next time.

The first MATHia grading period ends tonight at midnight. Have you met your goals yet?
