Remember that THIS is the time to start thinking about the end of semester grades...

Got a low grade on a major assessment?

• Meet with your teacher for extra help.
• Do the pre-work required reassess.
• Schedule the retake.
• Even though your teacher isn't grading it, do your homework.

What if the grade you got isn't an F?

• Do the pre-work required reassess.
• Schedule the retake.
• Even though your teacher isn't grading it, do your homework. 😉

General Tips--We'll have more content specific ones in the coming newsletters...

1. Mark all your Uncertainties: Circle, star, put a check mark...it doesn't matter. In some way, you need to mark any question that you were even 20% unsure about. If you are practicing, go back and think about whether you uncertainty arose from a content issue or the way the question was presented. If you are taking the real test, make sure you remember to go back to the question (recognizing if you made an educated guess or circled randomly) if you have time.

2. Bubbling: After all your hard work, it would be a shame for you to mark the right answer but mess up transferring your answers to the scantron. It helps to check every now and then to see if your bubbling is correct. That way, if you have an error later on, you can rest easy knowing that you only recently made the error rather than in the beginning. The strategies for bubbling vary. Some people bubble everything at the end so they don't break concentration. Others bubble after every question and don't even mark their booklet. I do a hybrid version. I will bubble after every page so that I'm not panic bubbling in the last few seconds while also being able to bubble after completing my thoughts. Also, ALWAYS bubble in every dot since there is no penalty for guessing! Bubble guessing can only help your score.

3. Practice, Practice, Practice! : The best way to get better is to practice under standard timing and conditions. Don't do yourself a disservice by doing 10 math questions or 1 reading section at a time. The most you should cut up a test should be by English, Math, Reading, and Science. Once you feel comfortable with all of the timings, take them all at one time like it's the actual test day.

Anyone wanting to volunteer must follow the volunteer policies for the Richmond County School System. They must also complete the Mandated Reporter Training.

There are 3 levels of volunteers and volunteers have been cleared at the appropriate levels before working with students.

Please check in with Ms. Hawkins, our school social worker, for more information. (hawkica@boe.richmond.k12.ga.us)

If your child needs to be absent for any reason this school year, please utilize the school attendance email address: musketeerattendance@gmail.com. We are encouraging parents to provide doctor/dentist excuses, as much as possible. The RCSS code of conduct permits 5 parent notes per school year.

For COVID-19 related absences, please contact Nurse Tiller at TilleCu@boe.richmond.k12.ga.us. When all information is received, the attendance will be updated and teachers will receive an email informing them of the student’s absence.

Yeah, I couldn't either. While I was logged in as a parent, I went to Account. Scrolled down to QR Code for Mobile Login and there it was! Very easy...once you know what you are looking for!

Switch browsers. For whatever reason, I kept clicking logout and it was keeping me logged in to my son's account. I had his account open in Chrome and had to create my account in Firefox.

Go to the parent site. Create an account. Enter one child's paring code--I suggest doing your favorite kid first....kidding! Once you are logged in, if you have multiple kids, go to Account, then down to Observing. In the box, add the pairing code from your other child and click "+Student." Voila!

Get the paring code from your child(ren). To do that, have them login. Go to Account. Then Settings. On the right side, there will be a button that says, "Pair with an Observer." Write this code down or take a quick pic for your child (or children if you have multiple in the school system. Do all of your children at once. It'll be easier. Also, if you are a teacher in RCSS, it was recommended to me to use a separate email account from my work email.)
