Week of 8 November 2010

The second quarter is under way! I apologize for any confusion regarding report cards and SPAN. I am looking into the discrepancy and will prevent it from taking place at the end of the second quarter. This week we will be exploring the criminal justice system, civil laws, and the juvenile justice system. Mixed in, the students will be investigating some more supreme court cases.

The schedule is a little odd this week regarding days off - Thursday is Veterans Day, and then we are back to school for Friday. Always an interesting week when there is a single day before or after a holiday. We will also be having a Fire Drill and Lockdown Drill on Monday during Pride Period!

I also have some more news. It has been decided that ALL of the Civics & Economics teachers will be giving a "Civics-Term" exam on November 19. There will be a study/review guide forthcoming so please be on the lookout for that. It is assumed that we will all be done with the Civics portion of the course by that day!
