Parents/Guardians:  If you did not receive the letter from the district in regards to "Supercharge Your Money, Boost Your School," The district is in need of donations, and Chevron will match dollar for dollar, up to $75,000 to help programs such as PE.  With fewer programs = larger class sizes, and less oportunities for the education of your child.  Please help support the district by donating at the following website:

http://www.ElSegundoEdFoundation.org
(or see link above)

A little donation can go a long way.  The district is urging each family to donate $100 or more to help support their child(s) education.

_--_-_-_Parents:  For trimester 2, I will be placing a comment for each assignment grade if the student has a no homework.  On Power School, if you notice the grade is a different color then the rest of the grades for PE, that means there was a comment made. Click on the grade to see the comment. Make sure you and your son/daughter keep up with the amount of no homeworks.  3 no homework - detention
3 tardies - detention
The rule of three works in my class for all behavior issues.
