Academic Strategies I/II
Beginning with the 2011-2012 school year, SPX is launching an eco-friendly initiative; in keeping with this environmental focus, my Academic Strategies course descriptions, classroom guidelines, and class calendar are posted on my Teacher Pages, not in print form.
Because review of course guidelines and calendar is a requirement and constitutes the students' first daily grade, I am requesting that parents/guardians email me confirmation of this completed review by Friday, August 19 (allenj@stpiusx.org).
Internet/computer/technology issues sometime happen to all of us; print copies of the course description, classroom guidelines, and course calendar will be available in the classroom.
