COMMUNICATION PERKS: hoping to keep students and parents on top of progression (hopefully not regression) in the classroom, we are going to start offering a little communication perk.  Teachers at ERA are required to update Infinite Campus at least by Monday morning each week (though we try to do it more frequently).  We would LOVE to know that students and parents are aware what is happening, at LEAST academically, on a weekly basis.  Therefore, please plan on printing the form attached to the top of the FORMS AND DOCS page called "Weekly Progress" each Monday evening.  If your child brings this form in on Tuesday, 4 weeks in a row, signed by a parent each time, your child will receive a "homework pass" to the subject of their choice.  It must be used within a month, or it expires.
