Helpful information:

Help sessions are regularly scheduled on Thursday morning from 8:30 – 9:00.  If this schedule does not work for you, please see me to schedule an appointment.  Each student will receive a progress report every Friday, except in the weeks that have “official” school-wide reports.  

Refer to schoolnotes.com for information about class, team, and school events.

REVISED SYLLABUS:
Please be advised that students are expected to read 25 books throughout the year and keep a record in their annotated book list.  I will no longer require book log summaries.  Students may read any book approved by their parent (including books made into movies). It is the responbility of the student to maintain accurate records.
