DON'T FORGET COMPASS ODYSSEY!!!

While inputing grades for Compass Odyssey this past week, I noticed that I seemed to have fewer students in my classes. "Oh wait," I exclaimed, "It isn't that I have fewer students, it's that fewer students are completing the 30 minute Compass Odyssey assignment that is required each week!"

Weird considering that this is a 30 point assignment for EACH week. 30 points go quite a long way when they are consistently missing from the gradebook. Additionally, I don't allow make-up work for Odyssey since I enter in the dates of the week and cannot time travel, as much as I would sometimes like to.

Hopefully, this is an anomaly that will not continue for the remainder of the year!

(In case you missed it, this means that you need to do Compass Odyssey each week. If it doesn't work at home, try at the library or at school in the mornings or afternoons. We are also open to allow team time, with notes from parents!)
