Study for Exam.

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 Thursday August 30. Bring houseplant materials (Sept. 6th & 7th).

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:

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.
