Miss Perris' 6th Grade ELA, Reading, and Social Studies

4/22/19

Happy Monday,
 
I told students today about the leave.  I think they are okay, as long as I come back.  :)  I spoke with Mr. Gillie over the weekend, and he wanted me to let you know that the classroom will be open during lunch (after a brief break), AND he will be having Homework Center on Tuesday and Thursday until 4:00 pm or so.  I greatly appreciate the fact that Mr. Gillie is willing to do this for us.  I expect the best behavior from students at all times, including during lunch and at Homework Center.

As we get closer to SBAC testing, administration has asked us to pass on this message.  Students are allowed to bring earbuds from home (must plug into the computer).  You do not need to go out and purchase them if your child does not have any at home.  We will provide them here at school.
