I want to make sure that people that support my students (parents, older siblings, guardians, etc.) are kept up to date and have a place to see archived information regarding the classes. On this website, I will be posting announcements, the topics being covered in class for the week, as well as homework for the week. This year, I'm also trying something new: dropbox. I'm planning to post worksheets and other important documents online so that you can have access to it to reprint if something gets lost.
Other important websites to bookmark:
John Muir School Website - http://www.sjusd.org/school/john_muir
Parent Internet Viewer - https://sjusd.gradebook.net/Pinnacle/PIV
This website allows you to check grades for each class, missing assignments, tardies, and absences. You will need a user name and password, which should be distributed in the next two weeks. If you lose that information, you can request it by coming to the Main Office at school.
Textbook Website: http://my.hrw.com
This website has all of the textbook and workbook pages available as pdf downloads. There are also extra quizzes and other helpful tools. You need a username and password.

Thank you to all of the 6th graders who attended the Summer Bridges program and took the math placement test. There are still about 25 students who need to take the test and may need to change math classes following the results of the test. If your child scored Advanced on the 5th grade math CST and you feel like they should be in the advanced 6th grade math section, please contact our Assistant Principal of Instruction Jen Long Bauer by calling (408) 535-2681 x263 to add them to the list of 6th graders who will be taking the placement test on Wednesday (8/18/10).
For the 6th graders in my Pre-Algebra section (period 3), please ignore the announcements I make to 6th Grade Math and reference the Pre-Algebra notes instead.
