Happy "Weather" Day!
It appears that January Mondays and school are going to be few this beginning of 2018. I look forward to seeing the students tomorrow. I am a little late getting this email out today so I am sure many of you are like me and gearing up for the big game soon! Tomorrow, we will be switching classes and moving as usual. I am sure that there will be some tired students, but we must keep moving. We don't have any major events or schedule changes this week. In Science, we will fully get into the Sound unit. I will not be sending home graded papers or red folders tomorrow since we are just 3 days into the third quarter. Please return the signed report card envelope and red folder this week. Thank you as always for your support at home, Heather
