Mid-Term Fustrations

There are two weeks left of the grading period/semester. Where I am teaching, sixth grade is consider middle school, but we are at the elementary school. My kids have to take mid-terms next week. Here is the problem, we have not received them yet. We do not make up our own mid-terms. They are being made-up for us. I would like to write up a study guide for our kids, so they know what to study for this mid-term. This grade is supposed to be on their report card. We haven't even covered everything for the grading period in all of the subjects.

Yesterday, we received the first grading period assessments for language arts. We were supposed to give that test back at the end of October, but never received it. To top it off, they kept telling us, do not worry about health until the second grading period. But they never gave us any direction about it. We are now at the end of the grading period and have to do something for health.

Pure Frustration!!!
