Parents,
Thank you to all parents who stopped by to discuss language arts progress with
me at conferneces. Eighth grade parents who missed the opportunity should
expect the second quarter progress report to come home on Monday, November
30th. Please discuss your student's grades, sign the progress report, and
return the signed copy to school on Tuesday, December 1.
As always, please encourage you student to take every opportunity to improve his
or her skills. This is as simple as correcting test errors, correcting DOLs,
or rewriting essays. Corrections provide a review of material and improve
quarter grades overall. A little effort does a lot to build success,
knowledge, and self-esteem.
To everyone in my St. Agnes family, Happy Thanksgiving! I count you all as
part of my life's blessings.
Mrs. Simich
