HAWK TALK #1

Please read over the syllabus for course understanding and materials necessary. Please sign & return.

Student’s will be using an Interactive Notebook throughout this year, so the large 5 subject, college ruled spiral notebook is the MOST important school supply they will need. Please, if at all possible, have this item by Friday August 31.

Students, Parents, and Staff working together. Student’s first homework assignment is to have parents fill in the short parent survey located on my web page:

http://teacherweb.com/NV/NWCTA/CarolTAdamson/t.stm

This will allow us to begin our open line of communication so that we may work as a team to create student success. If you do not have email capabilities, the student will bring home a paper copy of the survey. Thank you in advance.

Mrs. Adamson
