4-8 EXPECTATIONS: The school year runs for 36 weeks, each week
is to be completed by Saturday at 11:59 p.m. and you will be
assigned work weekly. Students will be responsible for ELA, Math,
Science, and Social Studies weekly, and will be loaded into one
special (PE, Health, Art, and Music) each nine weeks. 1 st nine
weeks- weeks 1-9 2 nd nine weeks- weeks 10-18 3 rd nine weeks-
weeks 19-27 4 th nine weeks- weeks 28-36 4 th graders this is a big
year for you, as you will have multiple teachers, and you will be
using Schoology to turn in all assignments, communicate with your
teachers, check grades, and use multiple resources. You need to
make sure that you can maneuver around Schoology because you will
not only be going in to Compass anymore; you will only be going to
the programs and resources that your teacher in Schoology tells you
too. 8 th graders you have the potential to earn one credit towards
the 20 required for high school graduation. You will take HS
Physical Education and Health. If the work is not completed by
Saturday at 11:59 p.m., you will get a message in the course
management system letting you know that your child needs to attend
the mandated tutoring that week. Students will then enter into
their Google Drive account and sign themselves up for a specific
tutoring time. Students will meet weekly with their teacher to
discuss concerns, questions, group work, mini-lessons, and
parent-teacher conferences (once a year, or per teacher or parent
request). Parents need to be very active in their childs education,
so they are successful at these critical ages. They will need much
support to understand the curriculum, and help with their
technological skills. Remember that they have to do the work, and
you are there as a support. Please make sure you are in constant
communication with your children's teachers and ACE office staff,
as we want to make this experience the best theyve had.
