STUDENT PHOTO OF THE WEEK
Congratulations to Kingston Slate
Message from Mr. Calhoun
Hello GK families and friends,
- The grade book is up to date! Assignments may be turned in late at a late penalty of 2.5% per day that the assignment is late until it reaches 50%.
- This week we will redefine the word fail to help students understand that we learn through failure. Students will create inspirational posters regarding the topic and the "best" ones will be hung up around the school. We will also begin an assignment called "Intro Photo Shoot". Students will shoot photos in full manual mode and learn to sort and store them. This combines camera knowledge with use of the apple computer environment.
- I need your help! Since I have returned I am seeing that a trend of tardiness is begining to set in at our school. Please remind your learner all of the reasons that being on time is important. Starting this week anyone with a second tardy will be required to call home to inform their guardian that they were late and that they will receive a detention if they are late again. Thank you for your support with this.
Thank you, Mr. Calhoun
