
A parent/guardian e-mail went out last Friday
with a recap of the week. If you did not
receive this e-mail and would like to, please
complete the information on the clip board.
SPAN- As of 3rd period, I finally figured out
the missing “Post to Parent” button, so grades
are available online.

We are currently reading Scarlet Letter
We will also read The Crucible, The Catcher
in the Rye, Of Mice and Men, and various
selections from the text. All novels are
