A message from the teacher

We have had a meeting with Mrs. Gangaware regarding T-CAP and Think Link. We are getting more information all of the time about these things along with the new standards. We will be working hard to get in as much information for these tests. Expect tired students at the end of the day.

Also, PLEASE talk to your students about their behavior. The holidays are drawing near and the students have begun their vacations in their minds. We have LOTS of work to do and they need to be here, prepared, and ready to work. The more prepared we are, the more we can do.

Finally, I am in GREAT need of Kleenex. It is that time of year and I am about OUT! Please help me out!!!

REMEMBER

Order your yearbooks. They are $50.00. You can order them online from the link on the homepage.

CAN DRIVE!!!! BRING YOUR CANNED GOODS!!!!!!!
