MIDTERM PROGRESS REPORTS are printed reports that are generated at the middle of the grading period/ quarter. Tomorrow is midterm day; all scores at midterm are set by 11:59 pm, when the central computer generates the reports. They are then sent to families. If you are tracking your child's grades via ParentVUE, the report will probably be old news by the time it arrives in the mail. The reports are designed to show parents their children's progress toward the final quarter grade.
AS YOU HELP YOUR 6th GRADE CHILD ORGANIZE her/ himself for school success, consider "mining" the binder, the science notebook, and the backpack. Frequently students tell me they don't have a certain worksheet or paper that I ask them to look for among their supplies. I am often able to quickly locate a lost item if a student will let me have access to the binder and notebook. This is a time in their lives when students are growing a multitude of neural pathways, so some disorganization is to be expected. Often a trusted adult, such as parents, can quickly help a disorganized 6th grader square things away.
I suggest you follow this blog for posts about assignments. ParentVUE is another resource for finding out what assignments are due when. Almost all science assignments are written in/ kept in the science notebook. Help your child organize the notebook on occasion, and keep the Table of Contents up to date. A once a week sweep through the backpack is also a good idea, as papers sometimes fall down this "black hole."
