Tuesday, 3 December (F Band): The Great Gatsby Essay Test. Please be advised that you are NOT going to respond to a "critical lens".

Wednesday, 4 December (E Band): Your turn for the Essay Test on The Great Gatsby. Please note that you will NOT be given the same question as F Band.

Dear Parents: I regret to inform you that the "cheating" on the quizzes continues. (Please read older post where I asked for your assistance.) Since students "share" a table, I change the format/order of the questions -yet, the children are still copying responses (often identical- incorrectly worded responses) from their "table-mate" or from another student sitting nearby.
Inform your child that disciplinary action will take place and a permanent record of this infraction will be noted as specifically stated in the class contracts signed and returned to me and to the school.
