I sent home corrected work today - along with a third quarter missing work sheet.  I gave one to all my students, indicating whether they had completed all their work or if they had any missing assignments.  I also included an alert for any low grades. Please review this sheet with your child, sign it, and return it to me.  I really appreciate your attention to this.  Thank you.

I look forward to seeing you all at Open House tomorrow evening!
