Grade Check

Today you will have 10-15 minutes to check your grades on StudentVUE. If you have a D or F in any classes, I would like you to look through your backpack for missing work and email that teacher (see email requirements below). Politely ask if there is anything you can make up in order to improve your grades.

If you are missing work for English class:
- Figure out what is missing. If it was turned in on Turnitin.com, double check that you have actually submitted.
- If it was a paper, look through your backpack to see if you can find it.
- If you are missing a quiz, figure out which one and find the study list for it under the blog label 'Vocab'.

Then: Email me - Shelby.Whittington@LCPS.org
- If you have submitted something to Turnitin.com and now need it graded, include what day you turned your paper in and what day it was actually due on.
- If you found a paper you need to turn in, tell me which one it is and why it was not turned in on time.
- If you are missing a quiz, tell me which one and suggest a Rock Block date and half that works for you to come and make it up.

Email Requirements:
- Start with - Dear Mrs. Whittington, (Same for any other teacher name)
- When you email a teacher or adult, you must use proper grammar. Capitalize 'i'. Do not use shorthand like 'u'. Do not write fragments, use complete sentences with punctuation.
- Sign your name at the bottom using your own information: Example:
                                           Thank you,
                                           Shelby Whittington
                                           Block 2

Remember:
In high school YOU are responsible for your grades. YOU are responsible for your make up work and any work you missed when you were sick. Always communicate with your teachers and do not assume that anyone else is going to do your work for you. This is your introduction to adulthood and the only one who is going to live your life for you, is you.
