Dear Inglewood Middle School Students,

Welcome to the Home of the Knights. We are very excited to begin another year at Inglewood Middle School and we are proud of our accomplishments and traditions. As we approach this school year, the Inglewood community of students, staff and parents feel it is important to renew our commitment to being respectful to each other and to making this a great place for all students.

This commitment takes on special meaning for all our students because you are the ones who make Inglewood GREAT. Your participation in our challenging academic program as well as the many activities we have to offer are the key to making this a great year. There is a place for everyone and your involvement in academics, sports, activities, and clubs will contribute to the "spirit" of our school.

We, the staff, are dedicated to providing the best atmosphere and climate for you to be successful. We want you to experience challenges and we are here to help you reach your goals. This handbook will provide you with important information you will need to be successful at Inglewood. We want to welcome you to Inglewood and wish you an exciting school year!

Sincerely,

Tim Patterson

Principal

Personal Contact: You can contact teachers by phone between 7:00 and 7:45 a.m. and between 2:25 and 3 p.m. or during their planning period. Email is also a great way to communicate with your child's teacher. In most cases, the email address for staff is firstinitiallastname@. (example: tpatterson@). This is the preferred method of contact.

Daily Bulletin: Daily announcements are made over the intercom.

Handbook 2019-20

ACADEMICS

Grades: The school year is divided into four quarters. Report cards will be issued approximately one week following the close of each quarter. The purpose of the report card is to inform the student and parent of progress being made in school. Academic grades will be issued on the following basis:

A = Excellent B = Good C = Average

D = Poor F = Failing I = Incomplete

P = Pass S = Satisfactory W = Withdrawn

Points will be given for grades in the following manner:

A = 4.0 (90-100%)

B- = 2.7 (80-82%)

B+ = 3.3 (87-89%)

C+ = 2.3 (77-79%)

B = 3.0 (83-86%)

C = 2.0 (73-76%)

C- = 1.7 D+ = 1.3 D = 1.0

(70-72%) (67-69%) (60-66%)

Standards Based Reporting: Is a way of reporting students understanding and performance against our curriculum standards. In a traditional A-F grading system it is possible for a student to receive high marks but not demonstrate mastery of the curriculum standard. (Example: a student that does all the homework well, but fails the tests) Standards Based Grading is used to help communicate what each student knows and is able to do in relation to the content standards

Progress Reports: Parents can access their student's grades through Skyward. Students can access their grades through the secondary student portal. Most teachers update grades on Skyward approximately every two weeks. However, this is not a school policy. Parents or students who have questions should contact the teacher. Mid-Quarter "D" and "F" Reports are mailed home to families. Quarter Progress Reports are handed to all students. Semester Grade Reports are mailed home to all students.

Homework Policy: Homework is an expectation within the total school experience. Teachers use homework to enhance and enrich learning. The completion of homework and meeting of due dates are critical to students' overall understanding of material. Each teacher is responsible to develop homework guidelines and expectations which will be provided for the students.

The following are recommended guidelines to teachers, students, and parents: 1. The student is responsible for taking accurate notes, paying close attention to the explanation, and putting forth

consistent effort to learn the material being presented. 2. The student is responsible for keeping an up-to-date calendar in their Student Planner. This means tracking due dates

as well as assignment completion.
