May 2016 - Building the Future One Student at a Time
EOY Checklist
We will be putting a "green sheet" in your boxes by the end of this week. They are due prior to the HISD closing ceremony on June 4th.
Textbooks are on that list. However, Mrs. Ashmore would like your texts/instructional materials as soon as you are finished with them. If you are changing subjects you should turn in all teacher manuals and motivation books. ELA should turn in book crates.
Culture Check - Keep Going to that Final Day
- Student Centered
- Encouraging
- Nurturing
- Safe
- Collaborative
- Fun
