YEARBOOKS: STUDENTS PLEASE READ!

5/25/12

STUDENTS,

If you bring your yearbooks next week, please do not have it out unless you've been given time to do so by your teacher.  There will be some signing time on Tuesday or Wednesday, depending which day the CSI agent guest speaker is coming.  Thanks.

If you would like an official yearbook signing party, post all the info on fb and start that at 3:35 on May 30th and you have up until August 26th to fit that in.  :)

THEFT of yearbooks:  IF you name is not PRINTED ON YOUR YEARBOOK ALREADY, write it in there at home, in permanent marker.  There have been numerous announcements about NOT having Sharpies at school, especially with students wanting to swipe each other on the neck, arms and hands with the different colored markers.  If your yearbook gets stolen, there's nothing that can be done about it so KEEP IT WITH you if you bring it or have that party at your house that I suggested above and you don't have to worry about anyone stealing it.  :)

RELEASE SCHEDULE FOR LAST DAY OF SCHOOL ON WED, 5/30

5/24/12

STUDENTS and PARENTS,  A letter went home concerning this schedule, along with it being posted on the MMS Typepad site.

Wed, 5/30:  Students who WALK home will be released at 3:20.  Students need to leave campus.

Students who RIDE THE BUS will be released at 3:30 to board the school buses.

Students being PICKED UP by parents will be released at 3:45. 

NOTE:  Vehicles will not be allowed in the circle drive for parents to pick up students until all the buses have departed.  In the past, this usually takes until about 3:50 or 3:55.  If you need to pick your child up prior to the boarding process , please do that no later than 3pm and check them out in the front office.  Thanks.

PARENTS AND STUDENTS....please read and also keep checking the MMS Typepad!

5/24/12

If there are any last minute announcements the way to keep up with them is viewing the MMS typepad website.

For Tues, 5/29, students will be entering through the doors by the administrative offices.  The front entry will not be available to entry for students because there's a voting session that day here at MMS.

REMEMBER, nothing bigger than an 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper and YES they measure stuff and keep it if students choose to bring it.  This has been announced ALL WEEK LONG at Advisory!

STUDENTS, please read!!!

5/24/12

Students, Many of you are already doing this since I have been announcing it, but BE SURE to check gradespeed before Tues and Wed of next  week.

With 145 students times 15 assignments each this six weeks, that comes to 2,175 papers to grade and enter.  I do not have a personal assistant and I sometimes make mistakes, especially with LATE work, as I've explained to you before. 

As of the end of the day on Friday, 5/25, I will have entered all the graded work I've received this six weeks.  So, please hang on to your graded work as I've instructed all year long, so that I can correct it if I've made a mistake.

THANK YOU!

OVERDUE MMS LIBRARY BOOKS! STUDENTS , please read!!!!!!

5/22/12

Students, PLEASE look around your house and in your book bags and on your desk or shelves at home and turn in ANY and all of your MMS LIBRARY books ASAP!!!

If your name is on the obligation list, of owing for an item or not yet turning in an item, you will not be able to participate in the end of year activities. (Not my rule, but campus rule)

There are still over 200 library obligations/or overdue books!!!  If your name is on the list that Mrs. Cochran has sent out, you will be calling home to give yourself a reminder tomorrow and all week long.  Take some initiative and get your books paid for or turned back in NOW!!!!

 

5/22/12

ONLINE textbook instructions have been in the lefthand sidebar since about 2007.  I've also posted them on this part of the website on 5/11/12, also announcing this in class as well.

If you didn't finish the Chapter 8 work in class on 5/21 or the in class work on 5/11 on chapter 9, be sure to go online and do that prior to 5/25.

If you have not finished WebQuests #1,2,3, go to the sites listed on your instruction sheets and complete those at home.  WQ # 4 is being assigned with class time to work on it on 5/22, 5/23 and due on 5/24, 5/25.

 

WEBQUESTS: STUDENTS, please read!

5/22/12

Students, If you will search on this main page, back to 5/17, you will see a list of all the WebQuests we've done and the ones you need to turn in PRIOR to starting the one on Teen Health and Alcohol/Drugs/Tobacco, which is assigned on 5/22, 5/23.

NOTE:  You must finish ANY of the previous webquests, #1,2,3 PRIOR to beginning on #4 in class today and tomorrow.

As stated in class, it's a good idea to try and complete #1, 2, 3 at home so you can be all caught up to work on the fourth and final one in class on 5/22, 5/23 and on 5/24, 5/25. 

No work on NETBOOKS will happen in class next week on the last two days of the school year.

 

STUDENTS, PLEASE BRING EARBUDS OR HEADPHONES ALL WEEK LONG FOR WEBQUESTS IN SCIENCE!

5/22-5/25

Chapter 8, In-class work from today, 5/21 is due on 5/24 and 5/25. See directions for online textbook from about a week ago on this website.
