Announcements & Notes To Parents:
- Please e-mail me so that I can add you to my list of "Parent Contacts".
- Homework Note: I do not post nightly homework assignments on my website. To check if your child has homework, please check her/his agenda! It is the student's responsibility to write down homework in their agenda every day! If there isn't any homework, each student is still expected to write down, "No homework" or "None". If your child is telling you that they already completed the assigned homework and you are still concerned, simply ask your child to show it to you! It is also a good idea if your child has the phone number of a "buddy" they can call about homework.
U.S. History
Announcements:
- History textbooks were checked out to students on Wednesday, August 25th. They are to be kept in good condition at the student's home throughout the school year!

Drama
Creative Drama refers to the use of theater exercises and games that do not lead to a formal performance. Creative Drama Workshop activities help students to build theater skills, improve communication, understand human interactions, express themselves artistically, deepen content knowledge, and work cooperatively.

The final list of work is usually completed 2-3 days before the due date. Sometimes the final assignment list may not be completed until the day before the compilation is due.
