PARENTS AND STUDENTS:
PLEASE ASK YOUR STUDENT TO EXPLAIN THE NEW "EXTRA CREDIT" POLICY FOR 4TH QUARTER. OF COURSE, THE SCORECARD WILL STILL PROVIDE EXTRA CREDIT BASED ON WORK THAT IS IN ON TIME AND BEHAVIOR, BUT ALL OTHER EXTRA CREDIT HAS BEEN SUSPENDED IN FAVOR OF MY "NEW AND IMPROVED" POLICY AND THE "OOPS!" POLICY. PLEASE REVIEW "THE MS. WEX GRADING POLICY" STATEMENT TO THE LEFT OF MY "BUG!"
IN JUNE, WE WILL HAVE THE AWESOME GREAT STICKY AUCTION! FOR THAT, PLEASE FIND SOME BIG ITEMS THAT YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO DONATE. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO!
THIS SHOULD BE AN EXCITING YEAR OF LEARNING! I HAVE MODIFIED MY CURRICULUM SO THAT IT MIRRORS THE NEW COMMON CORE CURRICULUM MAPS FOR 6TH GRADE. WE WILL BE RESPONDING TO LITERATURE THROUGH WRITING, CLASS DISCUSSIONS AND DRAMATIZATIONS! WORD STUDY WILL BE EMPHASIZED AS WILL GRAMMAR USAGE AND MECHANICS! HISTORY PROJECTS WILL BE USED TO EXTEND THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS WE WILL BE STUDYING! PLEASE CHECK MY SUPPLY LIST ON THE LEFT AS IT HAS CHANGED FROM LAST YEAR!
AND HERE IS MOST OF EVERYTHING PARENTS WILL NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DUSD'S GRADE PORTAL!!
1. FIRST, FILL OUT AND SUBMIT THE PORTAL LOGIN APPLICATION FOUND ON THE DUSD HOME PAGE.
2. RECEIVE YOUR ACTIVATION CODE
3. ONCE YOU ARE ON, YOU CAN MONITOR YOUR STUDENT'S GRADES, ATTENDANCE AND SCHEDULE IN ORDER TO HELP YOU PROVIDE "UP TO DATE" GUIDANCE! YOUR STUDENT WILL THINK YOU ARE AWESOME BECAUSE YOU ARE SO TECHNOLOGICALLY SAVVY!!!
