          **There will be no Word Parts test this week.
*Food & Toy Drives begin Wednesday.

Note: If I am absent (as I was yesterday) the homework will not be entered on-line. None of the seventh graders are allowed to have the passwords to the system.
 
Note: Sometimes the servers goes down or the power goes off. Tomorrow PG&E will be working on the streets outside the school and we will be off-line. Homework will not be posted. It is important to recognize that the homework site is a back-up. The "Buddy System" is another back-up. The students are supposed to be writing their assignments down in their assignment book which they are to take with them when we switch classes. The majority of them are doing so, but some are getting careless.
 
Note: Late homework (except in the case of illness or emergency) is accepted one day late and that is all.
