Questions??This page contains answers to common questions from students and parents.
How can I reach my teacher after school hours? Call and leave a voice mail message at school by dialing 655-2518 extension 3404. What if I am not sure about a homework assignment? A weekly assignment sheet is distributed to each student at the begining of each school week. Students may also consult a classmate or see the homework page on this website. What if I don't have internet access at home? Please use any of the computer labs at school, including after school hours, or the Darien Public Library. Parents should plan accordingly to provide support and transportation if necessary. How is placement for high school determined? In order to qualify for 400 BSCS Honors Biology, you must have the following in your 8th grade year: 1. A year-end average in science of at least an A-; 2. A year-end average in math of at least an A (in regular math) or B+ (in accelerated math); 3. And a qualifying score on the Reading Comprehension section of the placement test taken in December. 4. If you have further questions, please call the MMS guidance office. There are no exceptions to these requirements. How do I calculate my grade for the quarter? You have been given a Quarterly Grade Sheet on which you should be recording all grades received on homework, in-class work, tests, labs and quizzes. Add up all of Your Points and divide that number by the total of the Possible Points. For example, if you received a 10/10, 8/10, 20/30 and 90/100. Your Points = 10 + 8 + 20 + 90 = 128 The total Possible Points = 10 + 10 + 30 + 100 = 150 So, your grade percentage would be 128/150 = .8533333 or 85.3 % The grades are calculated to one decimal point. |
