Hello Parents and Guardians:
*Students received information about a comic strip project, last week. It is due Nov. 8th. Many students have not gotten the letter signed and/or shown me a draft. It is due a.s.a. p.
*Some of the new textbooks have perforated pages that do not stay intact. If your child’s home textbook is having this problem please jot a short note at the bottom of this syllabus.
*There will be a test covering Ch 10, on Nov. 20th, right before the Thanksgiving holiday. If your child will not be at school that week he/she may take the test before leaving for vacation.
*Students will receive their Ch. 9 social studies test on Wednesday. This time, I only want the test signed by a parent if the student earn a C or lower on the test.
