As ONE HERD!

November 2nd - 7th

Bison Families,

We will finalize Quarter 1 grades on Monday. If your student failed a class, reach out to the teacher to discuss what interventions are needed before the end of the semester. As a parent, if you need help talking with your student about their grades, read the article: What To Do if Your Child Gets a Bad Grade.
 
Behaviors we encourage at South to help students with grades:
  1. Own Your Materials: Set up a clean binder or notebook system so you never lose track of assignments or study guides.
  2. Track Your Deadlines: Record every due date in a physical planner or digital calendar so nothing catches you off guard.
  3. Master the Material: Dedicate regular time each week to practice problem sets, review vocabulary, and test yourself before exam week arrives.
  4. Speak Up Fast: Reach out to teachers and peers at the first sign of confusion. Asking questions early saves hours of stress later.

AIM for 90: Attendance Matters!

As a school, we almost met our 90% attendance goal, sitting at 89.67%. Keep up the good work, Bison; we are almost there/. 

For Quarter 2, focus on small changes to support attendance.
  1. Get school clothes and materials ready the night before.
  2. Set your alarm 10 to 30 minutes earlier.
  3. Skip the coffee if you are running late.
  4. Charge your iPad next to your phone and backpack. 

Thank you for partnering with us to keep attendance a top priority every single day.
