WELCOME TO 7TH GRADE!
2018/19
7th Grade Team
Our Goal: Provide a safe, caring, and productive learning environment for each student, every day!
Your Adolescent: Please keep in touch with your child. Seventh graders are at a critical developmental stage in an adolescent’s life. They are “caught in the middle”: one day they’re a child, the next day/hour/week, they’re an adult. Limits, boundaries, guidelines, patience and consistency are key, along with good modeling. Your child is learning. You can help by allowing your student to take on 7th grade challenges and responsibilities and to guide them toward independence.
Student Expectations:
Intrinsic Rewards:
Consequences: (Implemented if a student’s behavior is interfering with the learning/success of self/others.)
Aeries Online Gradebook: Grades are updated weekly. You may access this website (www.ttusd.org - ABI (Aeries) for Parents link on left hand side of page) using a username and password. If you have not yet set up an account, please contact the office for an ID code and instructions.
Please check the school website (acms.ttusd.org) calendar for progress report and end of trimester report card dates. Progress reports are mailed to parents after the first six-weeks of instruction each trimester and report cards after each 12-week trimester.
Homework: Homework will be assigned for the purpose of preparing for class (ie: pre-assigned reading material for a lesson or task) or for practice/study of concepts learned. All homework is expected to be completed on time in order to be better prepared for each day’s assigned work. Homework should never be so difficult that a student struggles; it is supposed to be practice. If you find your child struggling with homework please contact their teacher.
What to do if you are absent: It is the STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY to get and make up missed work.
The student has the same number of days as they were absent to make up the work for full credit.
Students (when absent and/or upon returning to school):
