Jury Duty
Dear students and parents,
As many of you know, I was selected for service on a trial as a juror, and was out Monday-Thursday of last week. I will be out this week at least Monday- Wednesday, and possibly Thursday as well. Thank you for your patience and flexibility in the area of posted plans and updated grades during the time I'm away from school.
Last Friday, it seemed like most of you were caught up on everything done last week (2 stories and their questions, and the video of 12 Angry Men). For this week, please go day-by-day with what the substitutes have for you. There will not be much homework this week while I'm gone. Listen in class each day for instructions on homework, if there is any.
Have a good few days and I'll see you at the end of the week!
-Mrs. Petry
