Mrs. Teresa Week of 1/27

This week we will complete lessons 41-45. Our next test is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 4th. over lessons 1-45.

Please stress with your student the importance of paying attention in class and not playing. Many of my students are playing or zoning out during class time and this comes back to haunt them when it comes to a test.

Also, I understand that homework is not fun. I understand that many of my students play sports and that takes time. However, homework is vitally important. Every single question that is on a test has been seen in the the homework at least once. Homework is practice for the test. We expect our students to practice for the game, why should we expect any less for their academics? Please make homework a priority in your home. Encourage your student to get the right answer and not just write something down to get the grade in the grade book.

As always, thank you for your support and for sharing your kids with me!

2- If your student receives detention, expect a phone call or email from Dr. Mehaffey or Mrs. Hudspeth. If your child has accumulated detentions that result in after school detention, this will be scheduled on Thursdays and parents will be notified by Dr. Mehaffey.
