Congratz-o-grams and more!

Team,

An official note on 1st quarter grades.. The window is open today and Nov. 14. By way of information, there is an announcement on the first page of Aspen with complete instructions and the comment codes are also listed. I am requesting that all grades be posted by 11/13 to allow time to address any missing grades or other grading snafus that arise.

Separately, homeroom attendance should be posted at 7:45am.  This is a a one-shot deal.  Any student who arrives thereafter will be marked present through the system at the front door.

Best,
Pat  

Congratz-o-grams to:

Amy Thorne-Allison who had a beautiful baby girl, Eve Abigail Allison (8lbs 8oz), on Wednesday.  All are doing well.

Danielle Murray who spent time this summer researching the lives and works of Southern writers in Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, New York, and Washington DC.  This work is being celebrated along with that by several other summer research endeavors sponsored by the Fund for Teacher with an exhibit at South Station.  If you happen to see it, snap a photo and send it along to me.
