Plans for week of 08/29/11-09/02/11

This will be a busy week in Sophomore English!

Today we are hearing from Mrs. Mosley, our College Counselor. Students are using "Naviance", a computer planning tool for students as they begin the college research process. Today they are taking a personality and career interest inventory. This incredible tool allows them to eventually enter test scores and helps the students research colleges that might be a good fit for them based on the information given. Parents are welcome to view this information at any time and will eventually be given a copy of the score.

Every Monday I plan to post our plans for the upcoming week. Obviously these plans are subject to change. Your student can keep you up to date on any changes.

First edline posting...

Dear Parents,

First let me say how much I have enjoyed getting to know your students! They are bright and respectful...we are off to a fabulous start!

Please do not be alarmed if your student's average is not where it normally is, or you think it should be. I am on the point system, as you know, and with so few grades posted the average is sometimes misleading. The Sentence Pattern Essay was returned today and the students have the opportunity to "earn" points back by re-writing. This will be due Tuesday.

I am hopeful you will choose to come to PTO Open House tomorrow night, August 23rd. I have some important things to discuss with you. If you are unable to attend, please email me and I will get you caught up!

Again, I am looking forward to a great year!

Sincerely,

Christy Colee
