Meet the Teachers
Don't forget that Meet the Teachers is tonight at 6:30. Please gather in the auditorium by department no later than 6:15.
Please have each parent sign your contact sheet. It would be nice if you could have a copy of your syllabus or a card with your email address on it to give to parents when they stop by to see you.
Remember that this is not a time to discuss grades. If a parent wishes to do so, please have them schedule a parent-teacher conference through Nelda Garcia.
