Office Hours:

In order to hopefully initiate students coming in to get work finished or to seek support when needed I have created an "office hours" schedule...it is attached to this post.
The schedule has times for single appointments which can be made on a one-time basis, and times for regularly scheduled appointments.
Students can sign up for either, and it is their responsibility to show up to these appointments.
I have placed a Google "Assignment" in the Science Google Classroom. Please sign up by responding to that Assignment.
Space may be limited so please sign up quickly for a spot.
Thanks,
Mr. Vryonides.

Incomplete Work


     This is a quick note for those that still have yet to complete certain work tasks that were previously due. If your child has work that was not completed and/or not handed in. Please expect a note to come home with a list of everything that needs to be completed. If you could please then sign the note indicating that you have been promptly communicated the information so that it can then be sent back to me that would be much appreciated.
     
     It is VITAL that this work is done so that your child's knowledge can be represented accurately on the upcoming Progress report card.

Thanks very much for your continuing support in your child's education.


Sincerely, 
Mr. Vryonides
