Progress Reports
Dear Parents,
Progress reports will be handed out to students today in their 7th period classes. The grade represented on the progress report for Biology I Honors is primarily due to the selection of an Honors Project. If students have not successfully selected a suitable Honors Project topic their grade may represent a failing grade. This is due to the assignment being counted as a test/project grade. Without this Honors Project topic your student will not be able to begin work on this *REQUIRED* project. This topic must be selected by the student (with no assistance from the instructor) and then approved by the instructor (for safety and ethical reasons). Once a suitable topic has been selected this grade will change, thus bringing each student's grade up. There has been ample time to turn in a suitable topic. This was assigned in the beginning of November/end of October and was originally due by November 13, 2009. Please push your student to get a suitable topic selected. To assist you there is a document under the Honors Project Documents list in the right column of this site titled "Selecting a Topic." Please use this to assist you. The example topics have all been taken (>8 students have already selected each of these topics).
