Correct and Return

Students and Parents/Guardians- Students MAY correct and return MATH homework assignments and tests. However, they will only receive HALF of the points that were missed. I am no longer accepting assignments from the first quarter or the first five weeks of the second quarter. I will not be making extra copies of missed/lost homework assignments.

Thank you! Hope you had a great weekend!

Student of the Month- December

Congratulations to our Student of the Month Quran DuBois!

The character trait for the month of December is EXCELLENCE

Interview with Quran:

How do you demonstrate excellence?

Quran: I demonstrate excellence by trying my hardest in everything I do and never giving up. I am not a poor sport if I lose at a game and I always stay positive.

Why I chose Quran:

Miss Bruno: I chose Quran to represent my 6th grade class because he shows excellence is everything he does. His academics and behavior in the classroom are outstanding and admirable. He is truly a role model for students of ALL ages! :)
