Quarter 1 Grading
Dear Parents, Guardians and Students,
The time to evaluate first quarter grades is next week. Students need to check the Parent Portal regularly, turn in all assignments when they are due and ensure that all makeup work is turned in as soon as possible. Assignments are being checked in daily and please remember that grading takes some time. Any students with specific educational accommodations will be addressed when grades are evaluated.
I will have my classroom available for makeup work during lunch next week Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, as well as after school on Wednesday (which is a minimum day).
I encourage both parents and students to email me any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Barajas
I wish all of you a very happy and safe holiday break.
See you all in the new year.

All constellation stories will be voted on in class tomorrow, June 8.
If I did not get to see you and you want to vote, email me your request and I will send you the stories. You must then read each story and email me back your three top choices. Winners will be announced on Wednesday.
Parent Conferences
Hello Parents/Guardians,
This year's parent conference days are March 25 and 26. As I do every year, I open myself up to scheduling conferences for the two weeks surrounding those dates. This occurs for two reasons... It allows me to meet with more families without rushing and maintain my personal family obligations.
I will not be able to attend on Thursday, March 26 so I have opened up my schedule starting this coming Monday, March 16. My first appointment is 3:15 pm and every other day starting at 3:00 pm. I am also available for phone conferences if that is more convenient for you. Please email me so we can discuss how we can better assist each other toward your child's success.
Thank you to those parent that have already emailed me.
Sincerely,
A. Barajas
