Austin Middle

     Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year.  While it is very different from past years, I am very excited about this upcoming year.  This year will require ALL of us to work together both teachers, students, parents & guardians. PLEASE be involved in your child's education. 

  AGENDAS- This is where you will look for important information. Your student is to write in this daily. for EVERY class. Most teachers use the agendas for learning targets, homework assignments, and upcoming projects or quizzes. In science class there will be a quiz every week.  Students should study their notes, daily warm up questions and the teacher website in order to prepare themselves for quizzes.  Quizzes count as a formative grade (40%) while Summative tests count as a summative grade (60%).  Occasionally extra credit may be given. I will only accept extra credit assignments if the student has participated in the original assignment. Extra credit is use to help bring your grade up, NOT to take the place of the first assignment. Projects, labs and tests will be noted on this website. 

REMIND:  This is a great way for you to be informed of upcoming tests, quizzes or projects.  You may receive messages via text or email. Please sign up for this.  When a student or parent signs up for remind, they will receive a 100 for a formative grade. This will be one of your child's first participation grades.
