Note(s) to parents and students:

On this page you will find things that will assist with your success.  View it daily as things change according to instructions provided during class time.  This blog is meant to be another support tool for you to refer back to.  It is a simple overview of what was done in class and what your responsibilities are outside of school.  Assignments and tests will be posted below on a monthly calendar. This is meant to appropriately help you time mange your school and afterschool activities.  Remember you'll be less stressed out if you have a plan in place and you organize your needs!

Please Note:  If I'm away due to illness or workshops the blog will not be update that day.  The supply will assign work left behind by me and if homework needs to be completed that day, please ensure that it's put into your bag as soon as it's assigned or refer to the homework board in the class before dismissal, as the homework, unless otherwise stated will be due the following day.

Kind Regards,

E. Bucci
