4.13.20 Grade Updates! I miss you all so much.

SPEECH/SOCIOLOGY Students and Parents,

This notification is to inform you of the latest information released by the county regarding your child’s grade.  As noted from the district communication, students have a choice to accept their grades as of March 13, 2020 as final grades for the 2019-2020 school year OR Continue to earn grades for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year to improve their grade(s).  We want to clarify that if a student chooses not to participate, perform or actively engage with his/her teacher(s) and they do not take advantage of assignment opportunities, this will result in their final grade being the grade that they had on March 13^th.  The only way for the March 13^th grade to improve is for the student to submit assignments and participate in the digital learning opportunities made available to him/her by the teacher.  

AGAIN, you do not need to notify Barber or Blackmon if you are not completing any other assignments and you are good with your grade. Well done friend! 

REMEMBER: Your Speech grade is the SAME grade for Sociology.

HOWEVER, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE YOUR GRADE PLEASE LET US KNOW SO WE WILL GRADE YOUR SUBMITTED WORK!
