UPDATED EXAM INFO DUE: Sunday, 4/22 TEST CLOSES at 7 am

I don't know what happened to Castle Learning this week.  It seems  given you an extra one with the same title but different exam & deleted the Global kid's exam entirely.  Your test has been updated, the incorrect one removed, so be sure you have completed the exam that is posted.  The other one no longer exists.  The rest still applies.

Your Chapter 19 Castle Learning test is now open & closes at 7 am on Sunday, 4/22.  This gives you 4 days on school computers & a day at home, plus the day this is posted.  And yes, I know we're off on the due date, but that's the beauty of online exams.

First try only counts.  Test is not timed due to it's length, which means you can sign out & go back to it later.  No make-ups since it is online.  If you don't finish (deadline locks it, etc.), anything unanswered is wrong, just like if you left it blank in class.  Quizlet for this exam was opened last week.

After-School Regents Review Dates

Monday, June 11^th from 2 – 5:30 PM (not sure about a late bus at the time of this posting)

IF YOU WALK HOME, YOU MUST PROVIDE A NOTE FROM YOUR PARENT/GUARDIAN THAT YOU ARE ALLOWED TO WALK HOME.  it is rush hour, drivers are crazy, too much has gone on the last 2 years, and I want to be sure your parent/guardian is allowing you to walk home.

This review has been very successful over the last 17 years with students who attend them in conjunction with being in class daily, are prepared, do their review HW, and study their flash cards nightly.  No one who has done all of these things has failed the Exam to date

Here are the details:

1.     Sign up sheets will be put up on Monday of that week and taken down at the end of school on Wednesday.

2.     If you sign up, you are expected to show up.  If you sign up & don't show up or cancel last minute, you will not be permitted to attend the following week.

3.     If you are not coming to school, not coming to class, not doing all work as assigned, &/or are unprepared for class you are not eligible for these reviews.  You can & are greatly encouraged to attend the department sponsored reviews.  

4.     If you have been consistently absent, late, had behavioral issues, &/or did no work this year, you cannot attend these reviews.  

5.     If you would like to participate in the pizza ordering, please being exact change of $1.25 er slice to review with you.  It is unlikely I will have change so bringing the exact amount is important in order to place your order.  You may order as many slices as you like.

6.     You may bring a drink & your own sandwich (if you don’t want pizza.)

7.     Review is limited to 24 students per course.

Review is done in pairs by your course (Global in pairs, US in pairs.)  It is not a lecture, it is not notes.  It is you, using my personal flash cards (different from those you do in class), to study & internalize information with a partner.  It is timed & organized in a way to give you the maximum exposure to Regents topics during any review period.  You can work on your weakest areas.

3rd Marking Period Grades Finalized

Your Chapter 18 Castle Learning Exam grades are now in Thinkwave.  That ends grades for the 3rd MP.  Your average in Thinkwave is your report card average.

All assignments due as of tomorrow count for the 4th MP.

Not surprisingly, many of you have asked about extra help.  Extra he is not a magical cure for failing.  If you aren't dong your HW, studying n Quizlet, competing your online assignments...you don't need "extra" help.  You need to do your work.  Extra help will do absolutely nothing if you aren't doing the work you have been assigned.   You can't expect to understand what you don't read, listen to, watch, participate in, or try to learn.  Coming to "extra" help won't change any of those things.

Important Updates

99% of the work from 3/29 & earlier was entered into Thinkwave before the end of the day on Thursday, 3/29.  There may be a random late assignment or Resource paper left.  Your Castle Learning Exam that closed Friday, 3/30 has not been entered yet as of this posting.

If you believe you turned in an assignment that has a 0, you must do the following:

• Email me NO LATER THAN Friday, 4/6 with a list of the assignments you believe to be incorrectly entered.
• You email must state what assignment you think has been entered incorrectly.
• When you get your work back on Monday, 4/9, you must give me the work.  IF you turned it n and IF your name was on it and IF it had the assignment on top as required, I will take it for re-grading.  If any of these were not done, your grade stands.
• If you do not get the work back, I did not get it, so your grade stands.
• There will be no consideration past Monday since grades will be entered after school that day based on your Thinkwave average.
• Work prior to March 9th will not be considered as you are supposed to be checking your Thinkwave weekly.

If you believe you were legally absent on a day you had a sub or a classwork assignment, you must do the following:

Email me NO LATER THAN Friday, 4/6 with a list of the dates you claim to be legally absent

•  You must get a print-out from Attendance indicating you were legally absent from school for that day/those days AND bring it to me BEFORE THE END OF THE DAY on Monday, 4/9.
• Only LEGAL absences qualify.  Cutting, lateness, music lessons, absent without a parent phone call to attendance, vacation, are all ILLEGAL absences.

• There will be no consideration past Monday since grades will be entered after school that day based on your Thinkwave average.

• Work prior to March 9th will not be considered as you are supposed to be checking your Thinkwave weekly.
