We have entered the sixth week of the semester! This is important for two reasons: 1. We are wrapping up our 1st unit of study. 2. Students will receive their first progress report soon.
As a reminder, grades are going into Synergy! Make sure that you are checking frequently to stay on top of your grade in the class. Any missing work or incomplete work needs to be turned in to replace the 0. If you are absent on the day of an assignment it is your responsibility to get the work and turn it in before the assignment becomes a 0.
“All human wisdom is summed up in these two words – ‘Wait and hope.’” — Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
