Why do we use an ILL?
• It is a working portfolio (all of your notes, classwork, etc.) in one convenient spot!
• It is an individual, personalized notebook that allows you to record and process information in an engaging manner.
1) It allows you to process and retain concepts more easily!2) You can use it to thoroughly review for quizzes and tests!3) It helps you keep track of your assignments, homework
and class work on a daily basis!4) It serves as a study tool for the EOGs!5) Best of all… The ILL allows you to personalize your
learning experiences by having a way to reflect thoughtfully, creatively, and individually!

• WE believe 7th Graders are:– Advocates for their education– Responsible for their actions– Respectful, compassionate and
engaged– Responsive to our expectations
Expectations
"Children are likely to live up to what you believe
of them.”- Lady Bird Johnson
Students should be studying NIGHTLY for all classes. They
should be using their ILL/binder to review notes, videos, processing,
resolve problems, etc.
Study Guides:Only contain basic information needed to do well
on test…information may also come from their ILL/Binder.
Study Skills (ALL classes)
These tests are
CUMULATIVE?!?
7th grade students should be working for at least 70 minutes
per night
Teachers are available for extra help &
remediation during lunch. Students must
receive a pass before going
to their elective
(period 4) Lunch Passes allow students to go straight to the lunch line and leave the cafeteria.
Students must arrive in a
timely manner.
Students must prearrange extra help with their
teachers.
Working Lunch
Retake
PolicyAny child may retake tests for higher grades
during lunch.Corrections are required before taking the
retest.
Guidelines:1. Students must work on the corrections at home or during working lunch.2. Students need to bring the original test WITH corrections ONE DAY PRIOR to retest.3. This will usually be within 5 school days (may vary based on date of RETAKE – which is
assigned by the teacher)
Parent Portal
All students and parents can have access. Parents can receive their own log-in/password by
filling out a form in the office along with showing their ID to the office personnel.
Grades are updated weekly in all classes. Grades that are entered can be seen in LIVE time.
Interim Reports
Sent home a once per quarter (generally halfway through)
Team WebsiteOne-stop shop for updates,
homework, and
important documents!

when your student is
absent, forgets what to do for homework, or
just needs important
information!
