Dear Middle School Families,

This week, there will be no assigned homework in ELA. I encourage you to take this opportunity to check Infinite Campus to review any missing assignments your student may have.

Students have until Friday to submit any outstanding homework for credit. After this deadline, any remaining missing assignments will be finalized with a grade of 1.

All homework assignments can be found on our Teams page under Classwork → Quarter 3 Homework.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you for your continued support!

Dear Middle School Families,

Happy New Year! As we begin the second semester, I’d like to share a few updates with you:

1. Weekly Warm-Up Grades
   Students will now receive weekly grades for their warm-up activities. Each week, students are expected to complete five warm-ups, which will be worth a total of 100 points. These warm-ups will be checked every Friday to ensure they are complete. This practice is designed to support students in developing their executive functioning skills.

2. Weekly Homework Schedule
   Homework will continue on a weekly basis this semester, but changing with assignments being given on Monday and due by Friday. This consistent schedule aims to help students manage their time effectively throughout the week.

If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m looking forward to a productive and successful semester with your students!
