Student's grade will constantly be changing as long as they have completed the Florida Focus.  If they do not complete this their grade cannot change.  On the grade portal I have listed all of the standards for the EOC and if you have mastered it will say 5/5.  This can only improve with completing classwork and homework.

Progress Reports

Progress Reports/Scholarship Warnings will be given out on April 21st and 22nd.

Students should be working on practice problems for the EOC Test.

WELCOME BACK! AUGUST 19, 2013


It is hard to believe that summer is over and another school year is about to begin.   I am excited about the opportunity to work with all of our students and parents and I am eager to start another great year.

“Success is not a place at which one arrives, but rather the
spirit with which one undertakes and continues the journey.”

This means a couple of things. First, it means that although the end
result (grades) are important, the journey that we take along the way as we curiously investigate the world around us, stretch our thinking, grow in character, and become a true community of learners is just as important as that end goal of grades. What this also means is that as you, your parents and I work together for you to have a successful expedition this year.

I am so looking forward to working with you and your family as we partner together to make your  year a success. I hope that you are as excited as I am to begin this fantastic voyage!

Supplies: 
(5) 1 Subject Notebooks (75-90 pages), Graph Paper, Pencils, Color Pencils, Calculator, Hand Sanitizer, and Box of Tissue

Classwork:  August 19th & 20th
 *Rituals & Routines       
*Introduction to Geometry
*Setting up our Notebooks
         
Homework:
A. Curriculum Paper Signed by Parent
B. Student Information Sheet Please Print
C. Math Survey Fully Completed
D. Log into the ONLINE Book with the CODE Provided

Text Communication Option:
Remind 101 is a safe way for me to text messages to students/parents.  I will never see students or parents phone numbers nor will you see mine.  This is only one-way messaging and is allowing me to send updates and reminders.  So if you want to get on the text list follow these directions:
Step 1 
Text this number 754-220-7738
Step 2 
You must use your class period only and text the following message 
Period 2A Code       @msfent
Period 3A Code       @msfento
Period 4A Code       @msfenton
Period 5B Code       @0db8
Period 7B Code       @ddbf9
Period 8B Code       @period8b
Step 3
You will get a text asking for your name - please make sure you put in your first name and last name initial (this is very important).
