7th Grade Principal
Instructor: Mrs. Troudt   
Welcome back from a hopefully restful and enjoyable Christmas break.  The end of semester is approaching quickly (January 20th).  Hopefully your student has had a postive experience during their first semester of 7th grade.

In the 7th grade we average the first semester and second semester grades to determine the final grade for the year.  Mrs. Cockley will be in touch with you after semester if your student failed a class with what he/she needs to achieve to pass the year.

We want all of our 7th graders to be successful and promote to the 8th grade.  Please help us by staying on top of your students grades.  If you haven't received a password to view their grades on line, please contact either Mrs. Janet Edwards or Mrs. Tina Hall in the main office.  This year the district has implemented weighted grades.  GVC  (Guarenteed and Viable Curriculum) assessments are weighted differently for each content.  Please make sure you understand the weighting system for each of your student's classes.  If you have questions, please contact the teacher first.  Email is the most effective method of communication.  Also remember that teachers are teaching all day and it may take some time to respond to your questions.

All students at McCormick are currently taking the Winter Administration of the MAP test.  The testing window is from January 2, 2012 - January 31, 2012.  You should be receiving your student's scores shortly after the conclusion of the testing block.  We will be using these scores to help us identify students who possibly need to be enrolled in a reading class for next year.  We will use the student's previous MAP and PAWS scores to make the decision.  You will be receiving a letter if your child has been enrolled.

We will be continuing our Math Monday Intervention for those students who have been identified as needing math remediation.  We have seen growth in the abilities of the students who participated in November and December and are anxiously awaiting the MAP Math scores for the Winter administration.

Registration for the 2012-2013 school year will begin soon.  We will begin registering current 6th graders on Monday, January 23, 2012.  Current 7th graders will recieve their registration bulletins, paperwork and information on February 1st and 2nd.  We will begin collecting paperwork on February 6, 2012.  Please see the calendar and links below for full details.

As always, if you have questions/concerns, please feel free to contact either Mrs. Cockley or me.
