Week of October 26th - 30th

- All of my classes have a BIG Unit 2 Test on Thursday, October 29th and we will spend the week preparing for it.
- All of my students will recieve a grade report on Monday (10/26) that they need to return with a parent signature. This will let you know how your child is doing before we take the test and grade notebooks this week (the last assignments of the quarter).
- Everything we do this week will count towards their quarter one grade.
- The last day of the quarter is Friday, October 30th. This Friday is a Green Friday: that means they can come makeup a missing lab, test, quiz, or assignment in my room between 8-10:30 AM (this time has been extended for this Friday only).
- They will also get a Study Guide on Monday that they will need to complete to help them be prepared for the test.
- They also should make sure their notebooks are organized and all the assignments are complete and in order according to their table of contents.
- Please encourage your student to study and do their best this week.
- Remember there is no school on November 2nd. The teachers will be at school preparing your child's grade.
