Junior Class News

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.
