Welcome to English-7
This site is used in support of a student agenda and is maintained to help parents stay informed of their child's class responsibilities:
- Homework will be updated daily by 5:00, unless I am absent.
- Assignments will remain listed for the entire semester, which helps students make up work missed when absent.
- I am available daily for extra help with assignments:
- Students can see me during class, Study Halls, & Lab periods.
- Appointments can also be made for either before or after school assistance.
- Coaches have always been very supportive of students coming late to practice when they are in need of help or need to make up work. We just write them a pass for practice.
- If your child does stay to work with me, I will sign their agenda so that you will know how long they were with me.
- If you do not see my signature, they were not here. Help is readily available!
