Tomorrow, students will have a quiz on Chapter 13 vocabulary. As a result of past assessments, I have decided to also include vocabulary words from Chapters 1 & 2 as well.

Many students/parents have asked for the textbook to be sent home. Currently there are not enough textbooks in good condition for me to issue them to all the students attending the 8th grade campus. I have found a solution though: Clairemont Press provides an online version of the textbook. In the navigation bar, students will find a link to the website for the textbook. The student code to view the book is as follows: ga11hist
The issuing of the book means that there will be more homework assigned to students and less time in the classroom spent reading the book for comprehension. It will be the student's responsibility to prepare for class and assessments properly. Students must turn in a current event in their Social Studies composition notebooks that meets the following requirements:
You should anticipate your child coming home with a detailed print out of their grades and an attached explanation of make-up assignments. The progress report should be signed and returned by 4pm tomorrow. Points will be deducted each day late and will not be accepted for a grade after this Friday!
All candidates and their campaign team should meet in Mrs. McClendon's classroom today after school to talk about plans and get campaign elements approved. Students must be picked up by 5pm today.
Student Government Elections will take place on Friday, September 30th. Make sure that you pay attention to presentations and campaign promotions.!!!!!
