  2. A Little About Me… • Shannon Donnelly • 6B Math • Western Kentucky University – Marketing • University of Southern Indiana – Education and Math • Worked in banking for 6 years • Second year at Stewarts Creek Middle School • Cross country coach and assistant softball coach • Moved from Santa Claus, Indiana

  3. The Shift To Common Core The Common Core State Standards are a set of clear standards for math and English Language Arts that were developed to ensure every student graduates high school prepared for college or the workforce. The standards reflect rigorous learning benchmarks set by countries whose students currently outperform American students on international assessments.

  4. Common Core will allow teachers more creativity and flexibility in their teaching while requiring a significant shift in instructional practice. These standards will require new approaches to help students master more critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

  5. School Wide Grading Policy Assessments – 50% Classwork – 40% Homework – 10% ALL students will have the opportunity to retake tests, whether they made a 62 or a 92. The retake must be done within 5 days after receiving the grade. The retake will cover the same skills, but in a different format. We will take the higher of the 2 grades.

  6. School Wide Grading Policy Late work – students have 5 days to turn in homework from the day it is due. After 5 days it becomes a 0. No extra credit Benchmark tests will be given at the end of each 9 weeks and will count as a grade in the homework category (10%)

  7. Falcon Figures • Falcon Figures allow students to review skills from the whole year. • 1 week to complete;10 problems per sheet • Falcon figures are due every Friday. • Students will complete Falcon Figures for bell work, homework, class work, etc.

  8. Math Notes • Table of Contents • Notes for every lesson (in order) • 1 grade at the end of each nine weeks. • Easy RESPONSIBILITY grade

  9. Email Communication • I send out emails throughout the year with information about what is going on in the classroom and at school • I sent out an email today, if you did not get the email or you would like me to put a different email address in, please send me an email with your information

  10. Remind 101 Remind 101 is a text messaging service teachers can use to send out alerts to students and parents. • Text the appropriate code to 865-329-7474 • 1st Period @donnelly1 • 3rd Period @donnelly3 • 4th Period @donnelly4 • 5th Period @donnelly5 • 6th Period @donnelly6

  12. Checking Grades Online We are in the process of implementing a new online gradebook program called Jupiter Grades.  Parents and students will be getting a username and password and will be able to log in and check grades for all subjects in one place.  That information will be coming home soon.

  13. Communication is the key!!Please send me an email or give me a call if you ever have any questions or concerns. Please look at your child’s agenda each night for any notes we may send home!!donnellys@rcschools.net904-6700 ext. 30174
