Quarter 4 ENGLISH 3 work organized by weekly dates

Image
Last Note:  Sunday, June 7 Last day to turn in work: Wednesday, June 10. Final grades for the 4th quarter due: Thursday, June 11 As you should all be aware by now, all grades are due this Thursday. The news was unexpected, so this will be the last post, rather than what was to be our final ELA work. I can accept work though Wednesday only.  The district already shared with families and students the grading. Of note, however, the 4th quarter grades will be an incomplete (50-64),  passing (65 to 84) or passing with distinction (85 to 100). Whether you pass the course will be determined upon your academics for the whole year . If you are not successful in completing the course, you will receive an incomplete for the year and have the opportunity to make up the work on line through a summer program.  Please, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact me!  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...
