8th Grade — 3rd Period (from export (3).csv)

Collins, Sean Henry — 80.8 / B

Sean Henry has produced solid work this quarter and his homework average shows consistent effort. His quiz scores suggest he should spend a few more nights each week reviewing the notepacket and vocabulary notecards before assessments. We are working on Chapter 16 (America in the 1970s) with the chapter test next week, and will then read Chapter 17 (New Challenges). The Chapter 15, Sections 2-4 (Vietnam Era) test grade is included in this report. 15-20 minutes of review every night, including weekends, will help him close the gap between homework and test performance.

Graham, Brooklyn — 87.2 / B

Brooklyn is a steady, dependable student whose homework and quiz scores reflect consistent preparation. She is within reach of an A if she tightens her review habits before chapter tests. We are working on Chapter 16 (America in the 1970s) with the chapter test next week, followed by Chapter 17 (New Challenges). The Chapter 15, Sections 2-4 (Vietnam Era) test grade is included in this report. Continued 15-20 minute nightly review of notepacket and vocabulary notecards will push her into the A range.

Haley, Reese — 84.0 / B

Reese has turned in strong homework and solid quizzes this quarter; her test scores are where the room to grow is. We are working on Chapter 16 (America in the 1970s) with the chapter test next week, followed by Chapter 17 (New Challenges). The Chapter 15, Sections 2-4 (Vietnam Era) test grade is included in this report. I would love to see her spend 15-20 minutes every evening, including weekends, actively reviewing the notepacket and vocabulary cards — her test grades will rise to match her quiz work.

Head, Hunter — 80.0 / B

Hunter's homework completion is excellent. His quiz and test scores are running below that level, which usually points to thin review time between classes. We are working on Chapter 16 (America in the 1970s) with the chapter test next week, followed by Chapter 17 (New Challenges). The Chapter 15, Sections 2-4 (Vietnam Era) test grade is included in this report. 15-20 minutes of notepacket and vocabulary review every night, including weekends, will lift his assessment grades toward his homework standard.

Kirkland, Molly — 56.8 / F

Molly's quarter grade reflects a significant gap between homework and assessments. Her homework average (93.8) shows she is capable of strong work; her test score of 39 indicates she is not retaining material between classes. I would like to schedule time with Molly and a parent to discuss study strategies. We are working on Chapter 16 (America in the 1970s) with the chapter test next week — this is a critical assessment. 15-20 minutes of nightly notepacket and vocabulary review is not optional for her at this point. The Chapter 15 test grade is included in this report.

Lutterman, Jack — 87.8 / B

Due to his absences prior to break, the test for Chapter 15 (Vietnam Era) counts as a homework grade. Jack's test grades for this quarter will be the test over Chapter 16 (America in the 1970s) and the Final Exam, which will take place on May 6th. Jack has rebounded well with strong homework and quiz averages since his return. We are currently working on Chapter 16 (America in the 1970s) and will read Chapter 17 (New Challenges). 15-20 minutes every night, including weekends, reviewing his notepacket and vocabulary notecards will set him up well for the upcoming test and final exam.

Oetting, Madeleine — 76.6 / C

Madeleine's homework is consistent but her quiz and test scores are holding her back from a higher grade. We are working on Chapter 16 (America in the 1970s) with the chapter test next week, followed by Chapter 17 (New Challenges). The Chapter 15, Sections 2-4 (Vietnam Era) test grade is included in this report. She would benefit significantly from 15-20 minutes of notepacket and vocabulary review every night, including weekends — the material rewards repetition.

Sindelar, Grant — 86.7 / B

Grant is a conscientious student with strong homework and quiz averages and a solid test grade. He is close to an A with just a little more precision on assessments. We are working on Chapter 16 (America in the 1970s) with the chapter test next week, followed by Chapter 17 (New Challenges). The Chapter 15, Sections 2-4 (Vietnam Era) test grade is included in this report. 15-20 minutes of nightly review will make the difference on the Chapter 16 test and the Final Exam on May 6th.

The Chapter 15, Sections 2-4 (Vietnam Era) test grade is included in this report. 15-20 minutes of nightly notepacket and vocabulary review will translate his strong homework habits into higher quiz scores.

Jonathan's homework is strong but his quiz and test scores are holding his grade down.

The Chapter 15, Sections 2-4 (Vietnam Era) test grade is included in this report. I would like to see him commit to 15-20 minutes of active notepacket and vocabulary review every night, including weekends. The material is cumulative and the Final Exam on May 6th will reward consistent study.

We are working on Chapter 16 (America in the 1970s) with the chapter test next week, followed by Chapter 17 (New Challenges).

Duman, Grant — 82.0 / B

Jacobson, Olivia — 71.6 / D

Olivia's homework is strong but her quiz and test scores are significantly below that level. The gap between her effort on homework and her assessment performance usually points to review time being too short or too passive. We are working on Chapter 16 (America in the 1970s) with the chapter test next week, followed by Chapter 17 (New Challenges). The Chapter 15, Sections 2-4 (Vietnam Era) test grade is included in this report.
