Hello. My name is Mr. Graham. I teach Algebra 2, Geometry, and Personal Finance at Roxborough High School. You are receiving this automated message because your student is in danger of failing one of my math classes for the fourth quarter, Spring 2025.
Low academic performance could have several causes. The most common causes include:
- missing a recent quiz or test,
- poor performance on a recent quiz or test, and
- chronic tardiness or absenteeism resulting in regularly missed assignments.
Please be advised that students must achieve an average grade of at least 60 across all four quarters in order to pass my math class for the year. In other words, the sum of your student’s four quarterly grades must be at least 240 in order to pass for the year.
Due to time constraints, I can not reach out individually to parents and guardians of all failing students. For specific details about your student’s academic performance, I invite you to log into the parent portal. If you have not already done so, please visit the following address to create a parent portal account through the PhilaSD.org web site:
https://apps.philasd.org/accountsettings/default/guardian_start.htm
Specifically, once you have logged into the parent portal, please view your student’s four quarterly grades to ensure that your student is not failing for the year. Students who are in danger of failing the fourth quarter are not necessarily in danger of failing for the year, but they may be. If this is not the first failure notice that you have received about your student this year, you may wish to take action and encourage your student to perform at their best, not only to avoid failing this quarter, but also to recover from any failures that occurred in previous quarters.
Please be advised that the last day for seniors in my Personal Finance classes to submit missing assignments is this Friday, May 30th, and the last day for students in my Algebra 2 and Geometry classes to submit missing assignments is Thursday June 5th. Time is of the essence.
PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE receipt of this message by either emailing or texting me, Mr. Graham, at one of the contacts below. Please do not respond directly to the message you received, as it was an automated message sent from an unmonitored account.
Best regards,
~Timothy Graham
