To Parents of Honors Students

Approximate grades as of 10/17 can be found under the Teacher Defined 2 assessment. The other classes should be up in a day or two. While the individual assessments are valid, the student averages are meaningless because the system cannot match the way I do my weightings to address the different strengths of students.

These grades can change pretty drastically as new material is turned in; new tests are taken, and new material becomes due.

One important category where you may influence your childs performance is labs , and I will try to keep the labs fairly up to date. Please encourage your student to turn in labs on time and to think about what their purpose was and how to learn from them while writing the reports instead of getting them out in the shortest possible time with the least amount of effort.
