Parents, academic alerts went home with some students today.  Please review, sign, and return them to school on Tuesday.  As we progress through the year the material becomes more challenging, especially in math.  It is critical that students are reviewing their Math Journals nightly and preparing for all tests in all subjects.  Journal notes and study guides are provided to ensure that students can do well on the tests and learn the required standards.  PLEASE ensure that your student is prepared for all tests and quizes.

Also, the reports on the African American character.  Your student has had two weeks to prepare the report, has been given the opportunity to go to the media center for research, and large portions of the instructional day to work on these.  They are due on February 21.  In addition to the report the HOW! line organizer and a rough draft are required.  The long weekend will provide an opportunity for those who need it to get the report completed.  An outline explaining how the report should be organized was handed out and should be useful in successfully completing the report.
