Science Quest

Today any student in Resource that receives study guide as listed in their IEP, was given one during Resource. It is very important for the students to use the study guide for preparation for the Science Quest (Mr. Urbas's version of a quiz/test). Students are encouraged to use their science notebook and old completed worksheets to complete the study guide.

Resource Students!

All 6th and 7th period Resource students were given a list of any late work. They are encouraged to get any late work in ASAP. All SS late work needs to be turned in to Miss Casey before Friday (the Chapter 1 Quiz).

Homework Help

Need some homework help?

Use that morning time wisely! After you get off the bus and go to the gym, listen for that 7:35 bell! During that time, before homebase, any student can see a teacher for help. Science kinda hard, go to Mr. Urbas's room and get some help. Forgot that last problem in the English workbook, run over to Miss Coppoletta or Miss Gabriel to finish the assignment. We are here to help!

Character Counts!

The Character Counts Club will be start at the end of the month (Sept. 25th). Any 6th, 7th, or 8th grade student can participate. The meetings will be held every Tuesday starting at 7:30 in the IMC. All are welcome to help create fun and creative assemblies for Prairie View and Elizabeth Ide. The Club members will travel to the other schools and work in the classrooms with small or large groups to encourage the Character Counts message. See me if you have any questions. I am looking forward to a great year!

Resource Procedures

Grading System:
STUDENTS DO RECEIVE A GRADE FOR RESOURCE! This is based upon the expectations mentioned below:
Missing assignments (5 points per week) – I receive grade reports from your teachers on Tuesday. If you have all of your assignments in for the week you will receive 5 points. If you are missing any, you will be deducted one point per missing assignments for this grade.
Assignment notebook (5 points per week) - I will have random assignment notebook checks weekly. It is your child’s responsibility to have ALL of their assignments in their notebook. If your child has them all recorded he/she will receive 5 points for the week. If they do not, he/she will be deducted one point per missing assignment. If there is an assignment for a class, it MUST be recorded. If the assignment is complete, cross it out. “NONE” is only acceptable if there is not an assignment for that day.
Weekly assignments (10 points per week) – There will be one assignment to be completed each week concentrating on reading comprehension, proofreading, word processing skills, math concepts, and test taking techniques
Assignments completed with a D or F can be corrected. Late assignments will only be accepted one week after they are due. In both cases, the highest grade you can receive can be a C.
The grading scale is as follows:
10 pts = A 7 pts. = C-
9 pts. = A- 6 pts. = D-
8 pts. = B- 5 points and below = F
If you receive study guides, they are due the day after you receive them (at the beginning of class). They MUST be completed on time to be graded. They will NOT be accepted late.
Daily Work (2 pts/day = 10 pts/week) – The reason you are in this class is to complete homework, get help when needed, and prepare for tests and quizzes. Use this class to your advantage!!! Use your time wisely!!! If you do, you will receive 2 points for the day. If not, you will receive 0 points.
