What's Going On? October 23rd through October 25th

Short Week This Week!

This is just a reminder that we will run a Monday-style schedule on Monday and Tuesday.  On Wednesday, we have a shortened schedule with early release and students have the day off on Thursday and Friday.  Enjoy your time and find some time to regroup!



Unit 4: Triangle Congruence

During this short week, we will spend some time looking at our triangle congruence unit.  On Monday we will talk about the midsegments of triangles and on Tuesday we will talk about the triangle inequality theorem.  Before our long weekend, we will complete a short formative during class on Wednesday to make sure that everyone is on track with our new unit.




A Note About Grades

One of our math teachers, Ms. Vogg, recently created a blog post about the Waukesha North math department grading policies regarding the number of "IEs" a student can have and still be able to pass the course.  I think she did a really great job explaining the policy regarding passing grades in Geometry.  You can view the post here.  Please let me know if you have any questions.
