Most students have turned in the Research Project, which was due on January 13. Please check the online gradebook to see if your student turned it in on time. There will not be a final grade listed for at least two weeks, however you can see if it was turned in at all.

Thursday, January 21, is an important due date for two important forms: the permission slip / $ for A Midsummer Night's Dream and the last day to turn in Conference Request slips. Your student received one in class today and was told the teacher that was assigned to facilitating this student-led portfolio conference. It will be the same format as the one in the fall.

Students assigned to ME are as follows: Bauhs, Clay, Garcia, Haack, E. Johnson, Kennedy, Kern, Kupelian, Lealiou, Lemke-Bell, C. McKinney, Montiel, Puholovich, Rossa, Seledec, Stoner, Strayhorn, Temen, Thomas, Tushman, Uzokwe, Weiss, B. Williams, Wolfe, Wood

Please ask your student about both of these forms today. If you are one of the above families, you may return the form or email me the requested times of day. Please give me three different time slots between 1 PM and 7:30 PM on Thursday, February 4, that work for you. Please also give me correct email addresses and phone numbers.

If you are not on my list, please contact the teacher assigned to you or your student's adviser to find out that name.

The District 97 Writing Celebration is approaching. Students may request an entry form from me, but it must be signed by an adult by this Thursday. Please ask your child to participate in this great opportunity. They may reprint something from this year in either poetry or prose.

Thanks for your continued support.
