Dear Parents of House1 grade 7 students:

In attempt to better communicate with you our team will have a schoolnotes page that lists the HW for English (Mrs. Chatterton), Science (Mrs. Greco), Social Studies (Mr. Scanlon),  Tech (Mr. Hickey).  You will be able to link to it directly from my MATH Schoolnotes.

I will try my best to update this on a daily basis, but there may be days where that may not happen.  It is a way for you to double-check and make sure that your child is being responsible and honest in their conversations with you.

THIS DOES NOT REPLACE THEIR AGENDA,

so please make sure that they are still bringing it home for you to check.
