Report Cards are coming!!!
Hello all!!
As we all know report cards are just around the corner....as in Wednesday!
I have emailed all students asking them to verify that they have all assignments from Google classroom turned in. Tomorrow will be the last day that I will accept any late quarter 1 assignments. Either online for hard copies.
After 5:00pm tomorrow night I will be inserting 0s into Power School where students have missing assignments.
All students need to understand that these 0s are permanent... and will affect their mark a great deal. I put these 0s in as a lesson to students of the importance of getting their work done and handed in.

Today the 8F class ( my homeroom ) spent the entire morning with me, going over the student handbook, many different important forms that have been sent home. The students have also been briefly introduced to the New Google Classroom app that will be used as a constant this school year in my class. They will be signed up tomorrow!
The 7F class was given the course outline and we read it through together. Tomorrow they will be introduced and be able to log into the Google Classroom App that will be used constantly in my class this year. I was super impressed with the amount of french that I was hearing in this class!
