Parent-Teacher Conference

Parent-Teacher Conferences are this Thursday, September 24.

I will be here at the Parent- Teacher Conference until 6:45. Then I will need to leave for the evening. If you do not have the opportunity to speak with me at Parent-Teacher Conferences, please feel free to call or e-mail. (The same applies even if you do see me that evening!)

My email is dorsc405@alpine.k12.ut.us

Note:   I am usually available after school, unless I have a meeting.  If you feel you need to see me before school, please make an appointment.  In the morning I am often off running off copies, working in another classroom, or taking care of other needs.  Or you can  come see me when I am doing intervention during Cavetime. 

February 27/March 2, 2009

February 27/March 2, 2009

Note: If you are looking for extra credit, search "extra credit" or "extra credit opportunities" within this blog. Extra credit may be counted on your final grade only if you have completed and revised (as needed) your book-of-the-month project and your GoMYAccess essay.

Note: Your book-of-the-month club assessments were due in class last time. If you didn't turn yours in on time, you may still earn up to the full points, but you will not receive the extra credit for being on time.

If you need help, come during Cave Time any or all days Tuesday through Friday.

Note: Don't forget to register online for eighth grade, and to return your yellow registration form in English class! Turn them in by placing them in your class wire basket.

Note: Parent teacher conferences were held February 26. If you missed and would like to contact us, please feel free to call or e-mail, or arrange a time to meet with us. Thank you.
