Parents & Guardians: I am sending home a form today regarding the vocabulary series we will be starting tomorrow. Please return the form with a payment of $9 by the end of next week. (Both cash and checks are accepted. Make checks payable to Conrad Schools of Science.) I will accept partial payment plans on a case by case basis. I strongly advise against the borrowing option since your child will have to copy every assignment as well as return the book in good condition. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.
Lesson Objective - Students will take their first test of the 2nd marking period. They can use the remainder of their time completing make-up assignments or reading for the November RRS.
Homework - Students are to take home and fill out the form regarding the vocabulary series.
