Week 17

Welcome to week 17, students!  You now have 6 full school days left to complete your assignments.  Remember, everything needs to be turned by January 27th, 4:00pm.  Also remember, every assignment that is NOT turned in by that cutoff time will receive an automatic 0.  These sad zeros will bring down your current grade- and will jeopardize your success.

Good luck!  Come see me if you need help in anything, and let me know if you have any questions!

State Testing

All,

I want to remind you that we are beginning State Testing this week.  I also want to remind you that State Testing is Mandatory.  Students MUST take these tests to graduate. Letters were sent in the mail this week, noting which tests you each need to take.  Please be sure to mark your calenders for these dates!

Week 16

All-

Welcome to week 16!  I am testing out a new process for weekly Aventa announcements.  They will not be available on this blog. 
You will also find other great resources to the right of this blog.  Look for Course Schedules/Syllabi, Open Office links, Works Cited help, and a link to the Gresham Barlow Website.  Look around- we're getting more hip as the weeks pass by!
Speaking of weeks passing by---- You should each be about 80% complete with this class.  We have 13 school days left before the end of Semester 1.  All assignments that are NOT turned in by January 27th, 4pm will receive an automatic zero.  Remember, that will lower your current grades- and you may not pass.

Let me know if you have any questions.  Come see me if you need any help.  Work hard to finish this semester up successfully!

Ms. C
