Welcome New Coaches!
I am your child's physical science teacher, Mrs. Anderson! My goal for this year is to help your child excel in physical science. In order to help make the best of connexus I have created a short video showing you and your child what you'll be using in my class. If you watch the video and take the short quiz at the end, your child will receive 5 points of extra credit on their first semester portfolio! If your child watches and takes the quiz, they can receive an additional 5 points of extra credit!

Please contact me when ever you have any questions! To ensure your child does well make sure you:
1. Log attendance- remember each student needs a minimum of 28 hours a week! Not fulfilling these hours is like not attending school, which is considered truant behavior.
2. Check and approve lesson completion- make sure children are finishing the lessons assigned to them each day. It's important that your child does not fall behind in their lessons, children who need to make-up over due lessons tend to panic and rush resulting in a lower grade!
3. Watch their grade book- each time a teacher grades an assignment you get a webmail. Please follow the webmail link to the assignment so you can see your child's grade. I allow students to improve their portfolio and discussion grades until they have a 100%! Remind your children to contact me if they're unhappy with their grades, I'm here to help!
4. Encourage your child to attend my live lesson sessions or watch the live lesson recordings. I have note takers in the live lesson sessions that children can fill out and use on their tests this semester (NOTE: students can not use any other outside resource i.e. the internet, their book, friends/ family members etc)! Students who attend live lesson recordings do better in their classes.
5. Contact me if you have any questions! If you're worried about your childs progress, confused about an assignment, or want to check in please contact me! You can call me at 775-525-0433 or webmail me!
