Dear Parents,
On Friday, Oct. 3rd, all students received Progress Reports. These need to be signed and returned on Monday. On Monday, Oct. 6th, I will also be sending home two test folders -one for ELA and the other for Religion. Each quiz must be signed, placed back in the same two folders, and returned with all quizzes inside NO LATER THAN WED., OCT. 8TH. No answers are to be erased or changed in any way on any quiz. No other teachers' quizzes should be placed in these test folders. Please review quizzes with your child. Upon return, I will keep all quizzes SAFE in class so that they can be sent home again just before UNIT TEST # 1 so students can study for the Unit test. In this way you do not have to worry about the quizzes being discarded or misplaced. If both test folders are returned, no more tests will be sent home. The parent will need to make an appointment to see me.
Since there is a Religion quiz every Monday, this is a reminder that students need to recheck the blog on Sundays for their Religion study guide. This week I am providing the study guide earlier but please remember to check back here to review on Sunday.
