Updates...

Welcome Back! Hopefully everyone had a very relaxing stress free holiday break and are ready to start learning again.

Supplies 
Parents it is very important that everyone is coming to school every day ready to learn. This means that everyone in class needs to have a pencil to write with, at least 5 notebooks, one for each subject, and homework folders. Most of my class is running out of space in their writing and math notebooks because we use them each day, please ask your child if they need new notebooks. Last semester we had students not coming to school prepared and it really slowed down the class, this semester students will be losing points if they do not have those three key items with them everyday.
