 JMC Grade Updates 

date 03/13/2025 author Kayleen Scheck category Academics comment Leave a comment

I want to first start with I AM PROUD of students for advocating for their grades & now seeing the value of them.  However, the missing/late work list is getting long and the expectation to have it graded the second they turn it in is wearing on me. 

In my syllabus next year and until the end of the year, students were told I will publish grades on Mondays for grade checks and if I put in an assignment for the WHOLE class throughout the week. I will NOT publish for a single missing grade because then notification emails get out of hand for parents that have those enabled. 

I also need to keep up on the assignments that ARE turned in on time, so it may take up to 14 days for me to circle back and grade what was missing, this is why it's important for your child turn assignments in on time to keep a planner or place where they can record what they've completed and still need to complete. We did have this conversation as a whole, I just wanted you to be aware!

Please make sure in preparation for these tests your child is getting enough sleep and breakfast in the morning.  

Note; When Quarter 4 begins we will be focusing on testing prep and test taking skills, feel free to share what you know with your child as well.  The week's of that subject's test there won't be any homework associated with that subject (ie. Math week they will just have reading homework) 

If you have children in other grades and are curious about our testing schedules you can find them on our School website www.lewalt.k12.mn.us --> CALENDARS --> 2024-2025 TESTING CALENDAR.
