End of term is sneaking up on us and we don’t know how many of our students are ready. Many students may not like the grades they have received and would like to get their grades up before they are unable to change them. I interviewed a seventh grade girl here at SAJHS said, “Before this term ends I need to turn in all of my missing assignments, in order for me to do that I need to put in my effort to complete and turn in those missing assignments. I think this first term went well and I am proud of my grades. Throughout this year I need to work on math, in order to do better in math I should probably listen more in class.”.
At SAJHS there are many ways to get your grades back up to an A. The students at SAJHS have a twenty-nine minute break (seventeen on Wednesdays) every Monday, Tuesday, and Friday called Olympic Time. During Olympic Time they are allowed to go to any class to work on missing assignments or to catch up on topics they may not understand very well. The students who have grades above a C are allowed to go to any enrichment activity available that day. The students should take advantage of this time to work on any make-up work or to spend time with friends for a little break. Many students will use this time to get their grades up before the term ends.
If your student is motivated enough to get their grades up. The bank is willing to bribe your students with money. Zions Bank will pay one dollar for every A your student earns when they have a savings account at Zions Bank. All you need to do is to open a savings account with them and every term they will pay the a dollar per A. Also, Krispy Kreme will also bribe your students only with doughnuts. The student needs to bring in their grades and they will also receive a doughnut for every A they have earned. If that isn’t enough to get your grades up, I don’t know what is. This year be sure to keep your grades up not only for the money and doughnuts, but also for the satisfaction you will receive knowing you are a straight A student.
