Good Morning Tappan Students, Parents, and Caretakers:
Welcome to your weekly ELA update. Please see below for weekly objectives and assignments. Weather reminder: As the weather continues to get colder (and warmer and colder again) 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 no 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. Hoods and hats are not permitted in class. January Office Hour Update: Office Hours will change in the New Year. 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.
