February 1st

Hello all,

I hope that everyone had a nice weekend. Just a few reminders about the week ahead. Both 6th & 7th grade must turn in spirals tomorrow (Tuesday, February 2nd). Yes, this is retreat day, but they are due tomorrow (as originally scheduled). There will be classtime tomorrow after the retreat has ended. New spirals will be passed out tomorrow to both grades.

I do not yet have the next test date determined (for either grade), stay tuned for more information.

6th grade-your half-size white poster board is due TODAY! As of Friday, no one had turned these in. A note was sent home to parents about this last week as well as being on the website. If posters are not turned in today, work deficiencies will be sent home. You may turn them in by WEDNESDAY of this week, that is far as the extension will go. Work deficiencies will be due tomorrow.

A few thoughts about third nine weeks---traditionally grades seem to take a dip 3rd nine weeks. School fatigue, holiday let-down, increasingly hard material, all of these factor in. Please do your part to keep your grades up by turning in homework, spirals, and preparing for your tests. Several 7th graders seem to have been caught by surprise by the vocabulary that was on the last test....I said in class that these would be on the test, we reviewed these definitions daily, and the words were on the review sheet! Pay attention to the review sheets, I always take the time to make these for your benefit...no surprises on the test. :)

Please let me know if you have any questions! Parents and students are always welcome to email me, lserpas@aloysius.org.

WHO DAT!
