Dear Students:
I was called for jury duty on Monday. I will be out for the same reason on Wednesday. Please continue to complete the current events classwork assignments. I tried to choose topics that you would find interesting. Remember, these assignments will impact your grade and cannot be made up later. Please DO NOT submit HW16 to the substitute teacher tomorrow. Just hold on to it until I see you next. Continue to work on HW17 (Study Guide #2) in preparation for Friday's unit test. I hope to return to school on Thursday. If I do, we will complete Unit 2 and proceed with the test on Friday. In the event that I get chosen for a case, I may be out longer and we will adjust as necessary. Thanks for your cooperation. I hope to be back with you on Thursday. -Mr. S |
