End of Quarter

Friday is the end of the 1st quarter.  What does that mean to you?  It means that this is the final week to push yourself to finish the quarter strong.  

Your quarter grade is what will determine your eligibility for extra-curricular competition in the next quarter which means that for anyone who is still competing in fall sports or planning to participate in winter sports (or competitive groups like Mock Trial, etc.) then you will need to be passing at least 5 half-credit classes.  Being eligibile is an additional advantage on top of being proud of your grades earned.

It is important to remember that the semester grade is what will earn you credit for the class.  Your semester grade will be a combination of your first and second quarter grades plus your exam grade.  So, your first quarter grade is a mid-way mark to check in on your own progress so far.  As a result, I want to remind you that even if you aren't able to get your grade up to as high of a percentage as you would like to have, all hope is not lost!  

My biggest reminder is that every point counts so please work hard to dedicate yourself to your grades this week!
