Interims, Pictures, and a Workday

Parents should be expecting Interim Reports to come home on Monday. Interim reports should be distributed by ALL teachers in ALL classes. The information on the interim reports should be the same as in SPAN.

Thursday this week is Picture Day. Photos for the Yearbook will be taken throughout the day. Parents should have already received literature for purchasing pictures through their student's second period teacher. Even the students who are not ordering pictures will be taking picture that day as well. These pictures will not only be in the yearbook but also be the student's identification picture for their Leesville ID. Leesville ID are required for entry to some school events, such as dances. So be sure to dress for pictures on Thursday!

Friday is a Teacher Workday, the beginning of a long weekend for the students (and a chance for teachers to catch up in whatever they have fallen behind in - and I know I have a lot of catching up to do in my classroom). Students should not be on campus on Friday, October 1.

Week of 13 September 2010

This week will be a bit different than most as we have our first 2 1/2 hour early release on Friday. In addition we will have a fire drill on Monday near the beginning of 2nd period, soon after announcements.

So far we are off to a good start. The students are settling and are hopefully becoming accustomed to the classroom and the expectations. However, I do fear, some students are not taking their homework and academics as seriously as they should. I will keep a careful eye on students' habits and be in touch with parents when the need arises. In that vein, later this week grades we become available for you on SPAN. All students automatically have access to their own grades on SPAN, but parents do not. If you would like such access with your own login, visit the Forms page on Leesville.org, print the appropriate SPAN form for you and submit it.

I am looking forward to a great week, the topics will keep getting more and more interesting!
