Daily Assignments and Information - Cal Young Middle School
Friday:
Wow! the end of the year!
Homework: Read the war novel during the
winter break (La/Lit Classes only)
Grades: I'm sorry to say that my printer keeps
crashing and won't print out the grades.
I did notify most kids of their grade status.
I will send home on Jan. 4th the printout
for parents to sign. The semester ends
Feb. 2, 2006.
D/F Notices: The district does require that I
notify parents of possible failures. Today I
did submit the names of students who have
a gpa below 68%. Some students already
have make-up work from me and will complete
that over the holiday. Others will need to start
when we return on the 4th.
Kids- You have done a great job and have worked
hard. Many of you have made great progress!
I'm so impressed by your creativity and work
ethics. Good job! 
Have a safe and memorable winter break.
