We are quickly moving through Español this year. To aid your child in comprehension, please ensure that your child is completing each homework assignment. I also encourage you to take a moment to view our online resources for our textbook at www.classzone.com. This website provides students with many wonderful opportunities for support, practice, and instruction.
Edline News
In addition to the progress reports posted approximately every two weeks, each teacher will be posting the planned homework assignments on the class homepage every week. This is to assist absent students with make up work and assist those students who have difficulty managing their time well. Since planned assignments are subject to change on a daily basis this is not intended to be used as a replacement to the student agenda.
