LIBRARY BUSINESS:
1) Lost books are brought to the library and the attendance office. Check frequently, since you will not know when a lost book may be turned in. If your book is covered, the library staff will keep it at the front counter for at least a week or more.
2) Do NOT store papers and pencils inside your textbooks. This breaks the binding.
3) If your book covers are falling apart, or if you still haven't covered all of your books, the library has covers for 25 cents. You can also use a paper bag or some other type of sturdy paper. The library staff will show you how to cover your books if you need help.
SOMETHING NEW: Check out the library web page! Click here.
You can also access this site through "my courses" on eTUSD or on the West High home page with the brown tab on the right. Be patient; it is a work in progress.

WELCOME TO MRS. ELWOOD'S WEBSITE!!
Please save this address to your favorites for regular visits. Everything that is listed on the agenda for each day in class will be on the online daily agenda page. You will always know what we did in class and what is due. Please double check the agenda before emailing a question to me. If I receive a question that I think may come up for several students, I will make an adjustment to the daily agenda that will solve the quandary.
When students are absent, they need to check the agenda, so they know what to bring to next class. If students are well enough and have the necessary materials available at home, I encourage them to get the work done. I expect students to return to school having already checked the agenda. I do not want to hear: "Did we do anything yesterday?" Of course we did. I want to know that students need a particular handout or clarification of a particular piece of information.
Parent Connect is certainly a useful tool, but the daily agenda is the most important place to visit. The grade program only tells parents that there is a problem after the fact. Frontload support and follow the daily agenda.
PARENT EMAILS:
Please email the following information to me from your preferred email address.
Student's legal first and last name
Student's grade
Period student is in my class
Parents -- Please send me your formal name, including your preferred title (Dr./Mr./Mrs./Ms/Miss).
