No more agendas, but weekly grade reports

For the past several weeks, I have putting daily effort grades into agendas. I generally liked the system because it gave students and parents immediate feedback. But, it also required about 10 minutes of class time every day.

So, I won't be putting daily effort grades in the agendas anymore. I will still put the grades into the online gradebook, so parents can still see the grades through Parent Portal.

Also, I will be sending home printed grade reports every week. These grade reports will need to be signed by a parent or guardian. Students will earn points each week for getting the reports signed.
