Student Progress

No matter what they say... Students have homework and practice EVERY night.  If a student says they have completed all work for the day then they should read for 30 minutes and do some math practice for 30 minutes (1 hour of practice per night).  The homework is a typical 1 to 1 & 1/2 hours per night of assignments.  Students have thier agendas signed daily and the assignments are posted on here daily.  I will be sending home progress reports to be signed.  Its not too late to fix grades for the 2nd Quarter. 

Thank you,
Mrs. McP

About Me

Taos, New Mexico, United States
My name is Hillary McPartlon. I am the teacher of the HANDS Program. H.A.N.D.S (Helping Academic Needs of Diverse Students) is a pilot program at Taos Middle School for 6th graders. It is designed for students who seek a challenging environment with a hands-on approach. Through multi-disciplinary learning, students will learn core academics, real-world challenges, and leadership skills. The HANDS Lab is for learners of all levels and backgrounds. The ultimate goal is to treat each student as an individual learner as part of a cooperative team.
