Please watch the Parent Portal for negative trends in your student's performance in this class. Please pay special attention to "daily quiz" grades. These are mini-tests (formative assessments) over the material we are covering or have covered and they indicate your student's knowledge of the current and already learned material. They normally indicate how your child will perform on the major test (summative assessment) as well. We take one to five daily quizzes a week, depending on the week, and those grades are averaged on Friday into one grade. Often the same material is repeated on several quizzes to check improvement. We always discuss the answers to the quiz immediately after the quiz to review the material and fix any problems with understanding. Your student should show improvement in those grades throughout the chapter or these grades will indicate to you that he/she is not studying the material sufficiently.
Additionally, please add your name to the distribution list for your student's specific class if you would like to receive reminders about quiz, test, and project dates. This can be done by clicking on the link to NewsFlash Spanish 2, 3, or 4AP on the left side of this site.
Thank you,
Di Johnson
