We have finished our fourth week of school, and your children are
working hard. I have all grades current on Edline, so I encourage you
to sit down for a few minutes this weekend and go over your son's or
daughter's grades since we are approaching the mid term mark.
Please
let me know if I may be of assistance to you or your child in any way.
We have a half day of school on Wednesday, September 11th so that we
can conference with parents. Please know I am available to meet with
you individually that day between noon - 4:00 p.m. I have only one
conference scheduled at this point at 1:30 p.m.
In an effort to
encourage more outside reading, the English department is requiring
students in grades 7 - 12 to complete an outside reading assignment each
quarter (except for the quarter we do our research assignment). I have
attached the guidelines, and I have covered these with my students in
class this week. Please let me know if you have any additional
questions. The first quarter assignment is due on Monday, October 7th. I have encouraged my students to think ahead because Homecoming is the week prior to this due date.
Remember the Junior Class Parents Meeting on Thursday, September 12th at 6:00 p.m.
I distributed senior class ring packets to them on Thursday, so please
ask them if you are interested in purchasing a ring. We will also
discuss prom and talent show at this meeting in addition to college
visitation days, HOPE, etc., so I hope you will be able to attend.
I
try to keep my blog up to date so you can find your child's class link
on my mail blog and click over to it for handouts, information, etc.
I am enjoying this class so much. They are full of personality! Thank you for sharing them with me.
