A Note About Agendas: I would love to keep in contact with you through your child's Agenda this year. To encourage the use of their Agenda I will be setting an initiative system. Every day to ensure all class notes or homework are filled out I will be signing my initials (E.R.). Likewise, I hope that when you read your student's agenda you could also sign your initials or put down a check mark.
