Redwood MS - Viking Voice #20
Monday, January 5th - Friday, January 9th
Reminder that Monday is a teacher prep day for semester 2. There is NO SCHOOL for students as our teachers use this day to wrap up semester 1 and get ready for the new semester. Students return to campus on TUESDAY, January 6th for the first day of semester 2. Reminder that semester two marks the start of a new grading period.
- This is a new opportunity, a fresh start, to put forth your best effort and use good study habits.
- Learn from any mistakes and let's do better this semester. You've got this Vikings. See you all back on campus TUESDAY!
Note for any students in semester long electives (Careers Grade 6, EPIC/Exploratory Grade 7/8). Make sure to check Q Connect for your new class information.
- Electives that are semester long ended at the conclusion of semester 1. A new class (new teacher, new room) starts Tuesday.
- Stop by the counseling office TUESDAY if you need help checking your schedule on Q Connect.
Redwood ASB is thrilled to welcome Keith Hawkins to Vikingville this month. Keith is a renowned speaker who has visited many CVUSD middle and high school sites. We are excited to hear from Keith and learn about kindness and treating one another with respect. Redwood will be on an assembly day bell schedule to accommodate this school assembly.
- In addition to the kindness assembly this month administration will be visiting all math classes for a behavior expectations refresher this month.
- Please be reminded that we expect students to follow basic practices to keep our campus safe and welcoming. All students are expected to keep their hands to themselves, use academic language only, and not exclude others. These basic expectations among others, will be reviewed with students during their math class this month.
- Families can review the behavior expectations in the RMS Student Handbook available on the school website or by clicking HERE
Semester one grades will post live on Q Connect Friday, January 16th. After grades are live, honor roll certificates for grade 6-8 will be distributed. Honor roll recognizes students earning a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 during semester 1. Not sure how to calculate your gpa? See below.
- Get Your Grade Points: Look at your semester report card on Q Connect to determine how many points your earn for each class. Each letter grade correlates to a numerical value (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0).
- Sum Totals: Add up all your total quality points.
- Divide: Divide your total quality points by the number of classes taken (ex: students take 6 classes typically) to get your GPA.
