I just love your scholars.  They are amazing and have so much talent.  They amaze me daily with their insights.
We had a heart to heart talk today about somethings they need to focus on this last quarter to be ready for CPA next year.  We talked about how at CPA their will be no listing of missing work on the board or e-mails home about missing work and probably no "No Name" box We do have those things now and yet there is still a lot of missing work which is bringing down grades.  Right now several students would be getting a deficiency, and some of them in more than one subject.  Deficiencies come out around the 23rd so I am hoping that students will get missing work in and put more effort into what they do turn in.  In class we will be working on following directions so that class time can be used efficiently to get work done.
