Welcome back
Salvete, omnes discipuli discipulaeque!
Juniors and Seniors: Latin III Honors is being taught by me this year. This course is highly recommended for students. Many colleges recommend or require three years of the same foreign language in high school. There is plenty of space left, so be sure to submit your schedule change request ASAP.

Weekly updates will be posted by Tuesday, 8:00 AM. The most up to date changes/announcements will be given over Google Classroom.
Daily homework assignments can be found on Google Classroom. Please be sure that, as stated at the beginning of the school year, that you are familiar with the personal and demonstrative pronouns, how to form them in Latin and translate into English. Use all the resources I have offered you to review. I am available for tutoring if need be.
Be sure to follow all dress code procedures this week. I will be checking if you are in dress code in class.

Repeated violations will result in stronger disciplinary action.
