We continue to work on our aprons in class. Three students have already finished their aprons with serveral more almost done. The goal is to have all aprons finished by the end of the month. Students may work on their aprons before and after school or at lunch with Ms. McIntosh’s permission. It is acceptable for students to work on their aprons at home if they bring a note from an adult. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Interim reports have been submitted to the office for all students. Parents should be receiving them in the mail shortly. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Students should see me for make up work if they wish to improve an “I” grade. This make up work must be completed by the end of October in order to receive credit for it. For grade 8′s and 9′s this report shows progress for the first 1/8 of the year. For Senior students this report shows progress for the first 1/4 of the year – we are at the same stage now in our semester system as we would be at the end of Term 1 in a linear program.
