Progress Reports Sent Home

All students received a detailed progress report on Wednesday.  Only those with grades of C, D, or F must have them signed and returned.  All students signed and dated a roster stating that they received a detailed progress report for this class.  Of course, grades may be checked on JPAMS at any time. The lowest test and classwork grades have been dropped for each student and do not show on the progress report unless a lower grade later in the term causes the drop to move.

Research Papers Due Tomorrow

Please bring two copies of your research paper tomorrow (one for English, the other for social studies).  Those on field trips must turn in their papers before leaving.  The late penalty is 25% per day.
