NYLearns.org - Meaningful Words


	Welcome Parents & Students! Thank you for visiting Mrs. Banks' English webpage. Visit often (bookmark this page if you are accessing it from your home computer) to get the latest news and information on what is happening in my various classes. Every time you visit check the information for your class period or your child's class period, marking period dates and the handouts section. Pay attention to the announcements and follow the directions if any. I am available for tutoring 9th period Monday- Wednesday in Rm. 276 or 3rd period Monday- Friday (only if you have lunch). You are not required to stay the full time. *However, please note ALL students are required to meet with me twice a marking period to discuss their class project.* If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me (via phone or email)! I am looking forward to working with you this year! You all have choices to make in life. Those choices have consequences: good and bad. Make sure you can deal with both if necessary.


		Announcements

EXTRA-CREDIT & ENGRADE

Any work you are handing in past the due date must be done during 9th period; no exceptions!

All graded work MUST be picked up during 9th period M-W for all classes except EBF. This is the ONLY time you can pick up graded work.

Questions regarding engrade can be addressed during 9th period when you physically have the work in question to show me. If there is an error it will be corrected.
