Oct. 6th Update - Conferences and Progress Reports

Today your student received a letter about Conferences which will be held on Thursday, October 23. I have attached a copy of the letter under the Handouts section to the right of this blog. It is important for us to hear from each student's family, whether you will be attending or not. Please understand that since there are over a hundred and twenty students on our core, we have only 5 minutes to meet with you individually. It will be easiest to schedule an appointment block earlier in the afternoon. Conferences will be on a "first come, first served" basis.

In Language Arts this week students are reviewing grammar packets for quizzes on Wednesday and Friday. Students are also re-working/proofreading/adding detail to a previous vocabulary activity. The new/final draft should be stapled to the original and is due Thursday. It should be typed and double spaced.

Friday you will receive a midterm progress report that lists all classes. I will send home a specific progress report on Wednesday for my LA/LS classes. As always, please sign and return it.
