PSP
The Pathways to Success Program (PSP) began last week. PSP is a program designed to provide students with extra help in ELA and Math. It will meet on Mondays and Tuesdays after school from 3:45-6:00pm, as well as before school from 7:15-8:00am. The focus on Mondays will be ELA, and on Tuesdays the focus will be Math. If you would like your child to receive after school tutoring, PSP is the perfect opportunity. Transportation is also provided! For more information, please contact Ms. Ward (wardt@clarke.k12.ga.us).
Student Incentive - Dress Down Day
Students who have earned between 350-400 points on their binder checks for the month of September will be permitted to be out of uniform this Friday, September 28th. As usual, students out of uniform must still adhere to CCSD/HMS guidelines. The vast majority of our scholars are doing a wonderful job of staying organized - please continue to support your child by ensuring that they continue to have the materials they need to be successful! If you are in need of supplies, please contact Ms. Fassbender (fassbenderc@clarke.k12.ga.us).

Monday: Unit 1 Test Corrections & Unit 2 Pre-Test
Tuesday: Locating points and finding distances on a coordinate grid
Wednesday: Finding area of irregular shapes on a dot grid
Thursday: Exploring the relationship between the side lengths and areas of squares
Friday: Introduction to square roots
Last week students took their Unit 1 Test, and it will have a big impact on their overall grades, because this test was our first major grade so far this quarter. Students had the opportunity to earn bonus points by turning in their completed study guides, and will also work on test corrections to earn back some of the points they missed on the test. If you are concerned about your child's performance or academic standing, please don't hesitate to contact your child's math teacher. Students are also encouraged to attend PSP for extra help!
