Dear Parents,
I will be using the blog to give the children classwork and homework. Whatever is not completed in class must be done at home. I will be collecting all work from Mr. Marcial on Thursday, 3/15. Please read what is due each day for your child. I do not know when I will be returning as of yet, because I am unable to put any weight on my foot. But I will be giving work each day and correcting it. Grades will be on the SIS.
Thank you,
Donna Toscano Larios
