February 6-10--Work
mentioned on this site should be in your student's binder. I never collect
work early that is listed here. Please ask to see the work and check it for
completeness and quality. Thanks.
From now on, students staying after school must leave my
classroom at 2:45. Please make arrangements for your student to walk home or
get picked-up by someone. They will be supervised in the front office until
being picked-up if not walking home. Thank you.
* Please remember that whenever you are absent,
you need to come in before or stay after school so that we'll have time to get
you caught up. I have before and after school duty on Thursdays, and
occasionally I have other meetings to attend, so please check ahead of time to
make sure I'm available. Thanks.
