Note From the Teacher:

*Reminder on August 23th at 6:00, we are having a Parent Info Night. Come an hear what to expect
this year. We will be discussing homework, grades, communication, field trips, and more. I promise to keep
meeting brief, but wanted you to have the most vital information to make this a smooth year for everyone.
There was a mistake on the note sent home! Im so sorry. The meeting will be on Tuesday the 23th.
If you notice graded homework coming home with make corrections or fix at the top of it. Its because
that assignment received a low enough score to be a D or F. For any assignment tat is failing (D or F)
students have the opportunity to make corrections and turn that assignment back in the next day. The assignment will be re-graded and then the score will be averaged. This will help students save valuable points and
correct mistakes they are making on their work. Some students requested to make corrections on all papers.
I will allow this as well.
