March 18, 2019 Good Morning Tappan Families,
Happy Monday! Welcome to your weekly English Language Arts email. See below for information about your child’s class. Please note that this email features both information for 6th and 8th grade classes so please make sure to look for your grade level. Weather reminder: It’s March and nearly spring, but we also live in Michigan. As the weather continues to stay on the cold side please remind your child that it is important to dress appropriately to stay warm. If a student decides to wear winter boots and there is not space in their locker I have a spot in my classroom where they can be stored for the day. Also, all winter jackets need to be stored in lockers and not worn to class. Please have your child wear a sweater, fleece, or sweatshirt if they get cold during the day. March/April Office Hours: I will be available on Mondays after school until 4:00 p.m. If a student takes the late bus home they will be escorted down to Homework Club to continue working until 4:30. Thank you and have an amazing week. Cheers, Mrs. Lee Tappan Middle School [email protected] https://mrsleeaaps.weebly.com/ Dates to Know: March is Reading Month!!!
