Homeroom Routine

Homeroom Need to know

Homeroom Pass or Fail does NOT go on Report Card, but is visible on Schoology and is an indication of portfolio progress. Keep an eye!

I like to keep my Homeroom stocked with whatever they may need.

Expect Homeroom Emails periodically updating you on Portfolio Benchmarks. These emails are a cue to you to check Schoology and or make sure students are up to date with Benchmarks.
