Checking in...

Hi, again, everyone. I hope the break's been great for you all. We go back in less than one week! I know you're excited....

Regarding English-related material, ALL students, please take the time to check over my original holiday post below and scan the "weekly schedule"/"important dates" links to the right in order to fully prepare for Monday, Jan. 3 and beyond.

Also, all students should be aware of a new "late assignment" policy that i've recently updated under the "RESPONSIBILITY" rule located on the "Rules and Expectations" link. I'll talk more about this new policy on the Monday we return (which is the official date it will come into effect).

Any questions, concerns, and/or comments, please let me know!

PS. English 9-ers, if you're planning on sending your essay to me electronically or "sharing" it via googledocs, please do so early enough before Sunday evening so that I can reply IF there is a problem on my end!
