Thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and support last week. I especially want to commend our students for their behavior. I heard good reports from everyone I spoke to.
I also want to mention that Math HW will be added as I begin to assess what the students did last week. (Some of this week’s homework may also be revised I’ll let the students know if I decide to change the assignments and post it on our blog, as well.)
Please be sure to sign and return the students’ report cards ASAP.
Working together for student success, Mrs. Pede
Small group math tutoring resumes this Tuesday from 3:45 – 4:45 p.m. for those students who would like extra help. (Unless your student is in ASP, please be sure to pick him/her up from tutoring by 4:50 as all staff must exit the building at 5:00 p.m., at which time the building will be locked.)
