Magnet Sign-Up calendar for individual virtual sessions - Learning Labs…

Choose a slot, make sure your name appears where the meeting name (the what) and the where is always Zoom for now (you do not have to type that).

Once you complete the form to book an appointment, click on save. A Zoom invitation will automatically be sent to your email (dearborn public school emails only). Accept the invite and it will automatically be added to your own Google calendar. If you do not use your Google calendar at this time then use another way to make note of the day/time of your meeting so that you don't forget. Do not be late either. Parents, if you want to see the calendar, just have your student show you. All sessions are scheduled for 30 min. Some sessions may run a little shorter depending on individual student needs and progress. If needed they may go a little bit over (depending on teacher schedule at time after meeting).

For math:

Each student is required to sign up for three 30 min sessions per month. Only two sessions for September since we are already into it.

For Edgenuity:

Each student is required to sign up for one 30 min session per month.

Of course students may always email questions and contact us for immediate virtual help/schedule support and at any time. This calendar is for the required sessions. Teachers may require more sessions from a student if they are in need of intervention or behind. In that case the student and parent will be notified. At this time there are no in person meetings (Learning Labs) allowed to be scheduled in our district. We will let you know if that changes. Teachers may add more availability for these required individual sessions if/when needed.

REMOTE LEARNING ATTENDANCE POLICY:

Magnet is mostly Asynchronous work time (working on your own). Students will be marked present during these times. If a student is not working (putting in time) for a few days, the teacher is required to question the student, alert parents and document it in Mistar (where we take attendance). During Synchronous time (our learning labs “Huddles” on Tues & Thurs) we are required to take attendance. If you miss a mandatory session you will be marked absent. If the student is sick and cannot work for a specific day. Or has some other reason why cannot work, the parent still has to call the office to excuse them. Students must follow due dates for Community Service class.

EDGENUITY

You must finish 100% of your Edgenuity class with an average of 60% or higher. All students must take notes and show them to their teacher in order to get quizzes/tests unlocked.   Do about four 40 minute sessions/day

Math Pacing guide - pacing is 60% of your grade

***For Graphing please use Desmos Online Calculator if you do not have your own

*** If there are any problems accessing the math website or any other technical errors, please let me know right away via email or Remind.

Students work on skills practices and input answers online. As students work, they must keep a notebook and write down work, formulas, notes ect. Be prepared to show math work/notes every Monday. To pass the skill, the student must get an 80% on assignments in order for them to be tested on. If the student does not get an 80% they can try again until they get it. Must do 40 minutes (per math class) daily

Then a student tests on a skill (or grouped skills together). The student must earn a 70% to pass the test. If they do not, we go over corrections and they try again until they get it. Tests are done online with the use of a calculator and your notes.

When a student has successfully completed a few skills (80% correct), they may email me a picture of their notes and work and request that I generate their test. They may not take the test until I approve it. If a student completes a class and needs another math class added, we can do that.

MATH VOCABULARY:

Each student must open up the vocabulary document for their class below, make a Google copy of their own and add their name to the name of the document and the doc itself. Once you are finished with the vocab and ready to turn it in, share it with me. You will be responsible for completing the definition and adding an image to describe the term or concept.

SEM 1:   All other math classes    Alg 2B S1 & S2   Due Friday September 11th by 3pm.

COMMUNITY SERVICE CLASS 3rd hr  w/Mrs. Richardson - SEM 1 only

Your grade for Community Service will be arranged from a mixture of the assignments below. I will add the assignments as we get to them but added in the 1st couple. We will have a mixture of assignments, monthly papers to write, community service hours and report outs from home and study hall time. For this class you will be able to see your grade on student/parent connect this semester.

SEPTEMBER

*Remember community service grade is in student connect - End of Semester 1 is Jan 15th 2021.

READING IMPROVEMENT with Freckle - 

https://student.freckle.com/#/login

Username: First & Last name

Class Code: KEMIAY

Teachers: Kemian/Richardson

Goal:

You should be getting in 30 min/weekday on Freckle Reading. So that is:

30 min/weekday

150 min/week  

approx 600 min/month  

approx 2550 min/2nd semester  (17 wks)

Your final grade (quarter 4) is calculated by taking your total minutes and dividing by the total minutes for the semester.

There is a pre-test, sometimes you may get targeted practice skills assigned and then there are 3 other elements to work on:

• Go under the English Tab at the top

• Work on pretest under Library
• Then work on Word Study and Practice Skills (each one of those has a pretest as well)

This class is designed to adjust to your own personal reading levels and help you improve your reading.

STUDENT EXPECTATIONS:

• Balance your workload for maximum comprehension, understanding and progress. Set a goal to work about 45min/day on each class. Remember you are working to complete your credits towards graduation. We are available to check notes, answer questions and generate tests M-F 8:15am - 3pm. We may be able to help with questions via email/remind outside of those hours.
• Use the resources provided to you from myself and Problem Help in Freckle Math:

• Khan Videos/ My personal videos /Freckle Videos
• Vocabulary
• Hand written notes
• Old practices/tests and corrections
• Parents, study groups, email me

• Keep a math notebook with your notes and work in an organized manner. Be prepared to show that work/notes every Monday. For each new skill, at the top of the page, write the name of the skill and any important vocab/formulas. Then show all of your work from your practice. It is true that there are a few circumstances where work does not need to be shown (ex. graphing).
• Communicate with your teachers through school email. Look for communications from your teachers and other staff. Ask questions and make requests through school email.

Parent Expectations:

• Occasionally monitor and check in with your student and their progress
• Email staff with any questions, comments or concerns

Thank you

Working together towards your child’s success.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Richardson, Mr. Campbell and the Magnet Staff

Recommendations for Success:

• Don’t Multi-task too much. It makes your brain perform at a lower level
• Get the right amount of sleep
• Don’t skip math (you will not reach your goals)
• Take/show notes  (actually required)
• Manage your time wisely - let us know if you need any help with that
