This Week In U.S. History

Hello Parents,

We are into our first NECAP week. Because of this, I tend not to give homework to help keep the anxiety level down for students. We really want students to focus on doing their best on the NECAP. When we do have classes this week, the focus is on Native American culture groups (Chap.2, Sect. 2). By the end of Thursday we will be finished with this section. We end the week with our field trip to hike Mt. Mansfield........can school get any better than this!

PowerSchool is up to date. I still am wrapping up with Milton History project grades. When you do see these, they will be scores of 1-4. A 1 means that the project is incomplete. A 2 means that the student is "working towards" the standard, but has not reached it yet. This could mean that writing and / or content was not sufficient, effort was not quite there, deadlines may not have been met, or time was not utilized well in class. A 3 means that the standard was met and my expectations for the project were met as outlined in the project requirements. A 4 means the student did more than what was required and "exceeds the standard". Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Have a great week.

Mr. Burton
