Weekly Announcement: 8th Grade
4th Nine Weeks: Week 8
Hello all,
We are almost to the finish line of this school year! Please remember:
1. Complete your ELA iReady assigned to you on Monday of last week if you have not.
2. ALL MISSING WORK for my class will be due May 19th at midnight. Canvas is the best place to check for grades in my class. If you see ZEROES it means the assignment is missing.
3. For parents who have been asking, my in-class students should be getting all their Canvas assignments completed during my class time at school. The only reason they would have homework would be if they didn't get finished with one of the assignments in the time provided.
