Study Guide for Monday Language test – Our new Language curriculum is very rigorous and students struggles with the last set of tests given at the end of each week. For this unit I have created a study guide to help us prepare. I’m sorry that it is coming on a Sunday but with report cards and the amount of materials I need to create for class each week this is the soonest I could get it to you. Here is the link to the study guide. I am not sure if Schoology links work outside of Schoology. So if it doesn’t work it can be found on the Upcoming list on the ELA course. We will discuss the answers in class before the test.

Parent-Teacher Conferences are on November 5th, 10th and 17th.  Thank you to the 4 parents who have already signed up. Please use the link attached to choose a time and add any questions you would like to address in the form, so that I can gather any information need to to answer the question before we meet. Parent – Teacher Conferences. I need ALL PARENTS to sign up for conferences in the fall, I will only week with about a 1/3 in the spring.

Communication – Most of our communication will now be in Schoology. All parents should now have their own Schoology account that allows you to see all of your students in one place, you can check, missing work, grades, upcoming assignments and see the weekly newsletters. If for some reason your Schoology account is not working, please contact the school 313-827-7000.
