Dear Parents,
Weekly quizzes will begin this week. On Thursday all classes will have an ELA quiz. All students should study the vocabulary definitions and notes in their ELA notebook. The first Religion quiz will be on the following Monday. There will be a full day of school this Friday but I will NOT be in school since I am scheduled to attend a meeting that day. I will be assigning classwork that needs to be completed and will be collected and graded on Monday.
