Important Announcements

I hope you had a wonderful holiday break! Eid mubarak to all who are celebrating! And, a belated Happy Memorial Day!

I have posted the grades for all of the late work (last night). No late work will be accepted for work assigned prior to May 18th. The grades that are currently posted will only change based on work assigned from May 18-June 11 (the last 4 weeks of school). {student_firstname}, to improve your grade and keep your grade where it is, make sure to complete all of the work from last week, this week and the coming weeks on time.  Anyone who has a D or E (as of now) is in danger of failing and should work extra hard to complete all of the work for these 4 weeks.

Parents: Please make sure to take some time to sit with your child and log onto Student Connect to review {student_firstname}’s grade.

Students: The work for this week will be posted tomorrow. We will have our meeting on Thursday at 5pm for all blocks (Block A, B and C). Make sure to attend the meeting to review the lesson. 

Grades for last week’s work will be posted at the end of the week.

Talk to you on Thursday!

For Parents:

It is my goal to NOT overwhelm you during this already stressful time. I am only including parents on my emails when I think it is necessary. The majority of my emails go directly to students.

For posting assignments, I post them into “iLearn” which your child should have access to. Please check with your child if you want to make sure.

Please contact me via email if:

1- You feel overwhelmed.

2- You feel your child is not connected to their assignments and you want to help.

3- You have ANY questions or concerns.

To check on your child’s grades, please:

1- Speak with your child AND

2-Check your child’s Student Connect account with your child.

I care deeply about your child and your family and am trying to work in such a way that will only add joy and learning to your household and not stress. If there is any source of stress in hour household with which I can help you, please let me know. Thank you!
