Monday, January 6th

Welcome to 2020! January is a weird month; we have several half days, and a full day off school – plus, we are doing NWEA testing.

Marking Period 2 started November 4th and runs through January 17, 2020. ALL LATE WORK FOR MP2 WILL BE DUE ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 10th.

Students who did not submit a summative writing assignment received an email on Friday, December 20th. This assignment is 40% of the MP 2 grade, and failure to submit it will result in a grade of 0.

A new reading journal was handed out today; it is due Monday, January 13th.

Our NWEA schedule is as follows: Language NWEA Jan 6-10; Reading NWEA Jan 21,22, 23-28

Friday, January 17th is a half day.

Monday, January 20th, is no school.

Tuesday, January 21 and Wednesday, January 22 are half days.

Library time is scheduled every week (mostly on Friday). I am happy to send students to the library before Friday if it is needed. Students may check out 3 library books at one time. Students must have a barcode on their planner to check out a book until we have student ID’s.

Students who are one or more minutes late to class will be marked Tardy. At 3 tardies, I will contact home via email, and copy the front office on the email. At 4 tardies, students will be referred to the office AND serve a lunch detention. An updated copy of our tardy policy is on my blog!

Please add yourselves to our classroom Remind account! I will be sending important information throughout the year via Remind text. Use the link: rmd.at/h8cchc OR text the message @h8cchc to 831-613-1863

Email is the best way to contact me. My email is: thompsc@dearbornschools.org
