Here at Country Gardens, we are now halfway through our second full week. We are learning the rhythm and rhyme of the school schedule. For the newer teachers, we are learning of our students, and the methods of this well established school.

All students, please keep in mind that prompts are expected to be completed in a timely manner. If students do not complete a prompt until after the two week "grace period" for homework is done, they will be two weeks behind. This is not a place that any student should be happy to be in. This will be especially important during periods in which "final grades" are due for a grading period.

Book rental is an option for students that need to acquire a book and have no other options available. There is no excuse that will be accepted, especially if a student has not made mention of this difficulty to me.

Take responsibility.
