Weekly Email 2/18/2020
The kids are better and now it’s been me who’s been sick, sorry! I will get grades updated this week. Please use Infinite Campus to check for missing assignments. Third quarter will close March 6, 2020, before Spring Break.
Thank you for reinforcing our cell phone policy which asks students to keep their phones in our pockets during class, unless asked by the teacher to use it for an educational purpose. We have struggled with compliance with this during the year. We are tightening up our expectations and we are also encouraging phones not to be out during passing periods.

I available for study hall/make-up work in my classroom on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings (8:05-8:30).
