Syllabus
Mr. Hutson
Georgia Studies/Veterans Memorial Middle School
Dear Parents and Students,
My name is Mr. Hutson and I have been entrusted with teaching your child Georgia Studies at Veterans Memorial Middle School for the 2009-2010 school year. I am very excited about the opportunities and technology Veterans Memorial has been equipped with to better serve our students. I look forward to providing the best learning environment for each and every child. Again, I look forward to serving the educational needs of each child to ensure their success here at Veterans Memorial Middle School. Please ask your student for the syllabus they were given in class on August 6th. It details many of the activities, procedures,and policies of our team and school. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Mr. Hutson

We have a class blog now where students can communicate with me about Georgia Studies topics. This will be a participation grade that will be part of their final average each nine weeks. There will be times that they can blog at school but it is highly recommended that each student be able to access a computer with internet access within a weeks time. The blogs entries will usually be a week apart allowing for those without internet access ample time to blog their response.
