Hello parents!
I apologize for the slow communication this week. I have been completely overwhelmed with the volume of student work that has been turned in. For most students, this is an excellent indicator of work and progress. Because of the high volume of homework that has been turned in, I have not had a chance to update all of your students' grades. The grade on RDS is not currently correct. I will have all of the student work graded and input into RDS by Sunday evening. Starting later this weekend, I will start making phone calls home for those students who are not performing at their ability level. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me or e-mail me at any time. Your children are important to me and I want to help them be as successful as possible.
Furthermore, I have shared with your students that I am available everyday before school from 7:00 - 7:50 AM and during their lunch period for extra/one-on-one help. Please encourage them to take advantage of those times for additional help if they are struggling.
Other important announcements from this week:
