Parent Notes
PowerSchool
1.  When viewing your child's grades, please keep the following codes in mind:
  • NHI=not handed in; receives zero credit
  • ABS=absent on either the day assigned or on the day submitted; counts as zero until the student makes up the assignment; students have one extra day per class day missed to make up absent work
  • EX=excused from assignment; does not affect student's grade; this will rarely appear on the grade
  • (  )=assignment posted, but not yet recorded by teacher; does not affect student's grade; these are posted to notify parents and students of upcoming and late assignments that, when recorded, will affect the grade
  • When an assignment is highlighted in blue, that means you can click on it to view a description of the assignment.  That should help to clarify directions given in class and verify your student's understanding.
2.  Also consider the following when viewing the grades on PowerSchool:
  • Many factors, including student understanding, will influence the due dates and total possible points for the grades posted on PowerSchool. The dates and total possible points may change when they are actually recorded, but what you see on PowerSchool will provide an outline for what to expect.
  • Eighth- and ninth-grade student scores are weighted as follows: 20% participation and preparation (they'll know this as "Zahl mir" points; 40% assignments (including practice sheets); 40% tests and quizzes.  If you have any questions about how this works, please contact me.
  • Seventh-grade scores are not weighted.
  • The individual pages (see the tabs above) for each grade level include additional information about assignments, extra copies of in-class documents available for download, and links for further support.
  • It takes time for late and absent work to be recorded, even if the student has handed it in.  If you would like to verify that your child has handed in an assignment that does not appear on their grade, please contact me and I will let you know the status of the assignment.
  • Every trimester I receive many, many papers without names on them.  If your child insists that he/she has handed in an assignment and they did not receive credit for it, please have them check the no-name basket first.  If it is not there and they still feel there has been a mistake, have them talk to me before or after school to investigate.
