PLEASE *** PLEASE *** PLEASE -- Read the following new announcements and
updates.
May 1, 2008 -- Freshmen -- During the 3rd and last cycle we will be going
outside of the building and heading over to the creek. One task that the
freshmen need to complete is to determine the rate that the water is flowing.
May 1, 2008 -- Freshmen -- Also during the last cycle the freshmen will have
the oppotunity to showcase their artistic talents. In small groups they will
have the assignment of creating posters that depict one of the following
cycles: water, carbon, nitrogen.
March 26, 2008 -- We are into our third trimester and if your grades have
been less-than-desirable this is your final opportunity to pull them up.
Even my students with the lowest grades can bring them up and get credit for
the year. If you need extra help please ask. It is only too late if you
don't start now.
March 26, 2008 -- Copying fellow classmate's homework during another class
is a double whammy. Not only are you not learning the material that you are
copying but you are not engaged in the class that you are sitting in.
This trimester I am going to crack down on this occurring in my class. I
will take away the work and turn it over to the teacher who's work you are
copying. What actions those teachers take is their discretion. Also, I will
assign a detention. If the work that is being copied is an assignment of
mine than I will assign 2 detentions.
JAN 11, 2008 -- UNIFORMS -- Do not come into my class out of uniform. This
includes the wearing of any clothing over your uniform such as a hoodie or
coat. If you tend to be cold then wear a long sleeve shirt UNDER your
uniform shirt.
JAN 11, 2008 -- STUDY HALL -- Please bring school work or reading material
to study hall. Study should be a quiet environment for students to do school
work. Be aware that I am only allowed to send three students to the Media
Center.
VOTER REGISTRATION *** VOTER REGISTRATION *** VOTER REGISTRATION
You probably are aware that you need to be 18 years old or older to cast
your vote but did you know that you can register at age 17? With our next
presidential election on the horizon you do not want to miss an opportunity
to be involved in the election process. Therefore it is prudent to register
as soon as you are eligible. You can get a voter registration form from the
Registrar's Office at your city hall. Remember: Life is all about showing up.
