After school

Open for those showing assignments I have scored incorrectly/missed, make-up work, begging for points, or otherwise trying one last-ditch chance to be semi-responsible since there's more Summer School and there never should've been any unless it entailed an 8-week program. To expedite matters, please arrive prepared with Printouts of mygradebook- CATEGORIES, with highlighted items to be discussed and all scored work. 






No conferences on Thursdays during L&L, Friday after school, Tues, May 31 [all day], so the remaining 45 to Defend Portfolios, plan accordingly. Additionally after P2 on Thursday, June 2, no conferences, as I'll be on the Storm King Art Field Trip - whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
