Memoir Projects and Textbooks are due

This coming week on May 26, the final Memoir Project is due after students have worked on this project for two months. There is a specific format to follow, and the entire document must be PROOFREAD thoroughly. My intention is for your student to make something marvelous that will be kept by your family for years and years to come. A copy of the directions and requirements are on my blog under "handouts".

Students know that they are required to bring a flash drive to class each day AND to copy pieces from the flash drive to a permanent computer. Unfortunately, in the past some students have lost everything at the last minute when they damaged or lost their flashdrives. They should have EVERYTHING with them in class, in case there is an error found that there is still time to fix. Please discuss the project with your student. He/she should be very proud of what has been accomplished. This project may be turned in early - I recommend every student to turn it in early, just in case.

Textbooks are due by next Friday - May 27. If a textbook is not returned, a replacement cost of $84.97 is due to the main office. Please remind your student to turn in the textbook AND any class novels ASAP.

Finally, students have received permission slips to attend the field trip to Funway on June 1. It is important that your student continues to complete assignments and behave appropriately.

Thanks for your support all year. Please continue to check the online Gradebook for missing/late activities.

Progress Reports and Electives

Students are completing elements for the Memoir Project, and they have additional class time today to type their pieces. They are expected to have a flash drive in class EVERY day for this project. Information about this project is available on my blog under "handouts".

Next week is the MAP testing for Math and Reading on Monday and Tuesday during Language Arts. Please remind your student to get plenty of sleep and eat a good breakfast.

Today I am passing out progress reports for Language Arts, primarily so students can notice if they have not turned something in. Please sign and return it to me. If there are any alterations, I correct them online.

Please also check online to see that your student is arriving to all classes on time, as tardiness is disruptive to the learning environment for everyone.

Today in advisory students received information about signing up for electives online through PowerSchool. Please encourage your student to sign up ASAP.

Thanks for your continued support.
