Common Core Standards

 Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of primary and secondary sources, connecting insights gained from specific details to an understanding of the text as a whole.

 Determine the central ideas or information of a primary or secondary source; provide an accurate summary that makes clear the relationships among the key details and ideas.

 Evaluate various explanations for actions or events and determine which explanation best accords with textual evidence, acknowledging where the text leaves matters uncertain.

 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including analyzing how an author uses and refines the meaning of a key term over the course of a text (e.g., how Madison defines faction in Federalist No. 10).

 Analyze in detail how a complex primary source is structured, including how key sentences, paragraphs, and larger portions of the text contribute to the whole.

 Evaluate authors’ differing points of view on the same historical issue by assessing the authors’ claims, reasoning, and evidence.

 Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., visually, quantitatively, as well as in words) in order to address a question or solve a problem.

 Evaluate an author’s premises, claims, and evidence by corroborating or challenging them with other information.

 Integrate information from diverse sources, both primary and secondary, into a coherent understanding of an idea or event, noting discrepancies among sources.

 By the end of grade 12, read and comprehend history/social studies texts in the grades 11–CCR text complexity band independently and proficiently.

Report Cards

In an effort to conserve resources and harness the capacity of our electronic grade reporting program (PowerSchool), district schools will no longer print hard copies of report cards unless requested by individual parents. To request a hard copy of your student’s report card, please contact the front office at 623-376-3000.  To receive your PowerSchool login, please stop at the office with a valid photo ID.

Power School Online Access:

Grades and attendance may be accessed 24 hours a day online with your Power School access code.  Access codes are available in the Counseling Office or Front Desk Monday – Friday 7:00 AM– 3:30 PM. You may check student progress regularly on the PowerSchool site using the same login for one or more students.  For Mountain Ridge parents/guardians without home computer access, a computer with guest log-in capability is available in the Counseling Conference Room.

Assignment Procedures:

All assignments can be turned in for full credit 2 up to weeks after the due date. Assignments submitted later than the two-week period will be accepted for teacher feedback but will not be accepted for class credit. Assignments can be turned in up until one week prior to the last day of the semester. Students, life happens. Make sure you communicate with me regularly so we can prevent possible issues.

Teachers will provide one retake opportunity on assessments to earn a better grade, up to full credit. In Canvas, students will be given two attempts to take end of unit assessments. The higher grade will be added to Powerschools. It is highly suggested that students demonstrate mastery by completing all unit assignments, each unit assignment with proficiency, before retaking the assessment. A different assessment that covers the same standards can be provided for the retake in lieu of the initial assessment. Test corrections may be offered in lieu of a test retake.

All students will adhere to the 好色导航Student Norms in a Virtual Learning Environment and to the 好色导航Students' Rights and Responsibilities Handbook.

Integrity and Character Counts: 

Integrity is vital to the learning environment.  Cases of cheating and plagiarism will be handled in accordance with the MRHS student handbook.  While there are many different ways to cheat or plagiarize, please be aware that activities such as sharing material, copying work, and posting information on a website are considered cheating.  Students who choose to cheat and or plagiarize will receive no credit for that work and will face further consequences as outlined in the Student Handbook.
