Report Card Conferences

Report Card Conferences are this week on Wednesday, December 5th and Thursday, December 6th. Conferences for Grades 7 and 8 will be on those two days from 1:00 PM until 3:00 PM in the Bache Science Lab (3rd Floor, Room 22).  We will also have evening Conference times on Thursday, December 6th, from 5:00-7:00 PM.  Conference slips were sent home with students last week.

*** Grading Guidelines for Reading: Parents please note, students cannot earn an "A" or "B" in Reading if they are NOT reading at or above grade level.  We work every day in class on reading skills.  However, the best, research-proven way for students to improve their reading skills and level is for each student to read AT HOME (a book of their choice) for 30 minutes a day. This is their reading homework EVERY night.  Of course, students must also complete all work to earn an "A" or a "B". These are School District guidelines.

Letter Grade	Numerical Score	Instructional Reading Level
A	100-90	At or above grade level

D	69-65	11⁄2 to 2 years below grade level
F	64-00	More than 2 years below grade level
