********************************************
Art Supply List is at bottom of page...

Many 6th graders are not bringing in their art supplies and homework...It will cause a drop in grade if the artwork isn't done with the right supplies or homework is missing.
Many are missing colored pencils, crayons and the correct watercolors (See Art supply list...we do not use wet paint... only dry).

********************************************
May Homework
Google and save to your files or bring in a printout of a Byzantine icon of a favorite saint to copy in class.

***********************************************************
Please note - In Middle School, Each class assignment counts as a whole grade. It is important that parents not throw out Incomplete work. Have students finish their unfinished assignments and return to school the next week. Incomplete class work that is not returned will receive a lower grade (C or D). 
 Students in middle school are responsible for making up all class work or homework missed when absent from class for any reason.
 Finally, many of the middle school class assignments are dependent on homework being brought in ON TIME, so don't forget to do your homework and bring in a copy or save it to your iPad.
