Absences on Thursdays to be Avoided

Thursday is test day and assignments-due-day in this geography class.

Attendance is a classic indicator of success in school. High attendance and awareness of test days is a sign that indicates thoughtful approach and effective response. Being lax in attendance is simply Not in your best interest, especially in your first year in a demanding high school.

Ask your parents about their evaluation of attendance as a lifetime habit.


If your progress reports do not yield the same results you experienced in middle school, should you panic? No. The average student at CMHS has quite an adjustment to make to mee the demands of CMHS. THis is a college prep curriculum. Your classes should be more demanding across the board.

In geography class your modus operandi should be
a) build your points by writing extra credit essays and
b) look at the tests on this site with your parents so you can develop your reading and response skill. I'll be happy to help, too. Email me with questions.
Soon I'll have a once a week after-school Writer's Workshop, 3:40 to 4:10, to give more aid.
