Parent & Student Information
Several students are failing this six weeks due to not turning in work. Some of their failing grades are so low that it will keep them from earning credit for this semester, which means they will be taking one semester of English I next year. Please check parent portal to see how your child is doing. Tuesday will be the last day I will accept any work that is late. I will be at school for morning and afternoon tutoring on Monday and Tuesday.
Some students are on a list disallowing them from taking their semester exams if they don't return books, or items to school. Students who do not take their semester exams will not earn credit for the semester and will have to return to school in June to take the exam. Please ask your child if they are on the list and have them take care of the outstanding items.
