There is no school on Friday, November 11th, Veteran's Day--a day to remember those who have fought so that we can have freedom. Take time to remember the sacrifices of those who served our nation and thank a Veteran.
Good Morning Red Team! This is the beginning of term 2. Time to push the restart button, and set new goals for term 2. Are you happy with the way term 1 went or did you find yourself stressed at the end trying to make up work? Are you using your agenda? With the new schedule it is a little more difficult to plan out your assignments, but if you prioritize the work for the next day first, then work on some of the assignments due the day after, you will be better prepared and more organized. If you write down work as it is assigned, you can see when assignments are due, then you can plan out your homework routine. Stay on top of your assignments, and stay for extra help or to do homework on Tuesdays and Thursdays when there are late buses.
