Every student will have every chance to be successful, he/she is responsible for taking  advantage of that chance

THE END IS NEAR !!!!!!!!
As of 2-3-2010 there are only 72 school days left before Final Exams.  That's only 36 days per class.  We are in "Crunch Time" from now on.  Remember that we lose almost an entire week to FCAT and another to county EOCs.

The A.L.C. class is an opportunity for students who have previously been unsuccessful in a traditional course to attempt the course online. 

Every quiz and test is open note / open Google.  Students are encouraged to search online or ask me questions when they don't understand.

As A.L.C. is an online course, students will receive a "NG" on their report card until they complete each semester of the course.  Students doing the second semester of any course, or any 1/2 credit course MUST COMPLETE the county EOC (End Of Course) exam in order to finalize his / her grade.

Please email me if you have any questions. lueckertm@duvalschools.org

Students need headphones for class everyday 

We began "Exit Slips" and Weekly Progress Reports November 30th
Students will earn points toward their final grade by completing exit slips designed to teach strands that have been identified as a "weakness" and completing a weekly log of their activities.  Bonus points are awarded for parent signatures.  The log is attached here:  weekly progress report.doc

Parents, please sign up for GradePortal Access and check your student's work in Odyssey regularly

AFTER SCHOOL CREDIT RECOVERY
AFTER-SCHOOL CREDIT RECOVERY STARTED NOVEMBER 9TH. 
Due to the massive response to the after school program, the lab will be open from 2-4 Monday, Tuesday and Thursday on all regular school days.  Students may attend as often as they would like.  Required attendance is at the discretion of the class room teacher. Less than 2% of the students who choose NOT to attend the after school sessions are successful.  Attendance is strongly recommended.  Student Application 2010.doc
