1st Week of School

The new school year starts this Monday August 22^nd (½ Day)… I am looking forward to seeing everyone.  I am seeing lots of new names on my class lists so that is exciting.  A couple things I need to express before school starts… besides August 24^th being Picture Day I would like ALL my 7^th and 8^th graders to bring their cell phones to my class (if they have them).  I am doing something else new… the chrome books will be in my room that day and students are going to register and/or re-register for the Remind 101 App.  I figure let’s get that out of the way right away and that way there is no excuse for not doing it.  Students feel free to do this prior.  Also, “Meet the Teacher Night” is August 31^st; I will NOT be there I have a prior commitment so for many parents you already know me, but just in case you need a reminder go on Plus Portals everything you need to know about me and the upcoming school year is there.  However, if you are a new parent or we have never met by all means come in and see me before or after school and we can talk about my expectations; just let me know that you are coming.  Lastly, I am NOT doing the Study Skills Program this year since a new elective has been offered that is basically what I did, but I will be available for tutoring after school (except Math & Foreign Language) if needed, but I like to wait till after Labor Day Weekend to start that.  I charge $25.00 per hour (3:15-4:15 PM).

Let’s have a wonderful and positive school year. J
