Hello Students and Parents,

I have sent letters home to parents of students failing course.  The letter includes your child personal overall grade and some reminders of resources and policies that can help your child's grade improve.   There is still plenty of time to get grades up and address any concerns for poor grades and/or behavior.  Students are to get letters signed by parent and return to me by Wednesday October 15, 2014.
