Is it already that time of year?!?!

I am busy getting this page organized and updated with new info for second semester courses.  Bear with me as I get it all up and running – there may be a few kinks to work out in the meantime.

If you are a student or parent visiting this page for the first time – a few things to note:

• I do my best to save paper by posting information (course outlines, assignment descriptions, etc) here – if you prefer a hard copy, feel free to print your own.  This way too, we don’t have to worry about losing your one paper copy.
• Detailed grade information is included on this website.  Last semester was my first time trying this out and I was not able to keep it as up to date as I would have liked.  I hope to do better this semester.  Students are listed by “code names”, which will be distributed at approximately the same time as interim report cards.

If you have any questions or concerns at any point… students, the best way to get answers is to see me after school in room 21… parents, email me at glchsarmstrong@gmail.com at any time.

On this day, we took some time out of our typically busy school schedule to reflect on our freedom and remember the important sacrifices others have and continue to make for us.

To help remind us, we watched a powerful video called “A Pittance of Time”.  Some have asked me where this video is from and so I post this now to give you this link:

Interested in helping to produce this year’s HEMSO?  HEMSO is Great Lakes’ yearbook and we need your help to make it happen.  We’re looking for people who love to write, love to take photos, love to design, love to edit, love to manage money, love to solicit advertisers, love to be creative, etc, etc, etc! 

Come to our first meeting Wednesday, October 28th at lunch time (bring your lunch).  Can’t make the meeting?  Talk to Azel Peralta or me, Ms. Armstrong as soon as possible!

Classes have started and the school year is officially underway.  It’s so nice to see returning students again as well as meet all the new students – welcome back!
