  3. Absences • When a student returns to school from an absence, they need to take their parent/doctor’s note to the front office. • Students will be given 3 days for every day absent to complete make-up assignments. Late Work & Point Deductions • Campus policy states that the highest grade a student may earn on late work is a 70%. Assignments must be turned in within the 3 week grading period or bundle. For example, if a student has an assignment from the first week of school, it will be accepted until the 3rd week of school with the highest possible score of a 70%.

  4. Make-Up Work / Corrections • Assessments can be turned in or corrected within a reasonable time frame for no grade higher than a 70%. (district policy) • Practice Assignments can be turned in or corrected within a reasonable time frame for no grade higher than a 70%. (district policy) (reasonable time frame = 3 week grading period)

  5. 40 Book Challenge • Students at Kelly Lane have been challenged to read 40 books by the end of the school year. A reading log has been provided to your child that stays in class. • Each student MUST read at least 1 book each 9 weeks. How will they accomplish this? The ELA classrooms are providing SSR (silent sustained reading) in their classrooms this year. Therefore, it is mandatory that they bring a book for SSR. • Will this count for a grade? YES – Each 9 weeks students will complete a project from a menu of choices that will count as an ASSESSMENT grade each 9 weeks. • Check-Ups Along the Way- Students will have reading or writing responses throughout the 9 weeks to assess their progress on the book they are reading.

  6. Pre AP Summer Reading • All Pre AP students were assigned a summer reading project during the first week of school. The project to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the novel will be due WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 18. STAAR TEST DATES • Writing – April 1st & 2nd • Reading – April 23rd
