Parents thanks so much for getting all your forms in, I know it’s a lot of work.  The one form you filled out about Student Directory Information, I noticed a lot of you checked the box that said you don’t want information shared.  If you checked this box your student won’t appear in the yearbook.  If you would like your student to be included in the yearbook, please send me a note so I can go over your paper and make sure that a box his not been mismarked.  All spelling homework is due on FRIDAY.  I think I had everyone but one person turn in homework.  Your student’s Autobiography projects are due on FRIDAY.
