Grades
I have updated my grade book and if students have not turned in missing work, the grade is a zero. I wanted you to know what their grade will be if they choose to not turn it in. Students who did not do their homework last night received a zero or failing grade today. Please have students turn in missing work to bring up their grades. I still have a stack of work turned in late that I need to grade and update next week.
Tutoring is offered every Thursday. Please send in a note by Wednesday so that I know that your child is staying and I can have worked prepared. They must be picked up by 3:15. This is a great time to work on notebook organization and grammar!!
Have a Great Weekend!
