Good evening ladies & gentlemen,


I hope you all had a terrific weekend.

Please make sure that you remember what we discussed today in class.  You have a busy week ahead of you.  It is very important that you plan your time well so that you get all the studying in that you require to do your best for tests and assignments.  You can all do well, but you need to plan ahead!  That means you should start preparing tonight!


A little note for you and your parents,.....

I know that parents love being able to have a "window" into the classroom whenever possible, and it is extremely beneficial for this to happen.  For this reason, I have created a Twitter account which will allow you to get a glimpse into what we are doing in the classroom.  Today I began posting pictures of some of our work (no student faces are being shown).  I would like to encourage parents and students to regularly take a look at the posts so that you can have an improved idea of all the learning we are engaged in.  You can follow the link below to find the page.  I don't believe you need to have a Twitter account in order to view our posts and links.  I'm looking forward to sharing with you throughout the year.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen,

Winter Elective forms went out.  This is a wonderful opportunity for some fun and exercise.  Mr. Macris does an amazing job of planning these events for us.  It is important to remember that they are completely optional.  We recognize that they are costly, and there is absolutely no problem if this is something that you and your family decide not to participate in.
