WARNING
Some students are not keeping current with their persuasive paper.
Some leave their folders at home.
Some don't do the work as assigned.
Some have had little signed off.
Some are offering excuses and explanations for why the work is not finished.
Today is January 21st.
January 30th is the last day to get in Formative Components of the paper for PARTIAL points.
That's a bit over a week.
I hope people have a plan to get out of the hole they have dug for themselves.
REMEMBER: IF YOU DO NOT COMPLETE THIS PAPER, YOU CANNOT PASS ENGLISH THIS TRIMESTER!
Get busy!

Conferences this week
Hey folks,
I'll be at conferences from 3-8 Thursday.
Conferences will be geared toward where we are in class right now, where we are headed, and helping parents know ways they can help students be more successful in English.
I don't plan on having individual grade sheets for parents, so if you want to discuss grades, please print out a report for SchoolView.
Also, after school on Wednesday is a staff meeting, so that would not be a good time to schedule an appointment. Friday--I'll be mostly brain dead on Friday because of conferences on Thursday.
