Science

Parents:
Please note that students have a worksheet to do in addition to their textbook work every week. This worksheet is where their grades come from. I am still not receiving assignments from all students on a consistent basis and this is affecting grades. (First grade's worksheet is done in the classroom, not as homework.) As with their other assignments, they are responsible for turning these in, even if they are absent that day! I will be sending home grade reports for students whose grades are "C" or lower this week. Thank you very much for your follow up on this at home each week.
