ANNOUNCEMENTS
*Some students have said that they are unable to check their Reading grades on Engrade. My name is entered as kellyajohnson. If this still does not work, then email Mrs. Rosellini in the Computer Lab.
Engrade is up and running, and I encourage parents to check it regularly. For those of you who are first-time parents of middle school students, please keep in mind the number of students we see, and notifying parents of every late or missing assignment is just not possible.
If upon checking Engrade, you or your child have a concern, please email me, and I will respond to your question or problem immediately, even if it is over a weekend or on a holiday. (You would not believe how many little pen pals I have on Sunday nights!)
