Mrs. Teresa week of 1/6

This is 2020!!!! Hahaha I know terrible worn out joke...but I've been waiting to say it. Welcome Back! I have missed my kiddos so much. I trust you all had an amazing Christmas break. We will hit the ground running Monday morning. This week we will cover lessons 36-40. Our next test is scheduled for Tuesday, January 14th. This will be over lessons 1-40. Please remember your child has homework. I am torn about homework to be honest. I want them to have time to be kids but I also understand the need for practicing the skills they learn. I am finding that many times when I ask my students why they are not completing their work and what exactly is taking up their time it is not family time, time playing a sport, or even time spent outdoors running and playing. No, it is time spent playing video games or time spent on their phones. I know this is the times we live in now, however let's try to encourage our kids that they need to make academics a priority. Hope everyone has a great week back!

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.

3- When students are absent, an Absentee Work Folder will be circulated to compile work, worksheet, notes, etc. This folder with the due date of assignments will be given to the student when they return to school.
