Winning at Planning 10!

This little pug passed Planning 10!

You need to pass Planning 10 in order to Graduate. Wondering how to do that?

1. Hand in every Exit Slip- fill them out and hand it in right away, don't hoard them in your locker!

2. Do all the assignements and hand them in on time. All assignments will be posted here on the website and you will get plenty of notice.

3. If you forget to hand something in, and you likely will, bring it to me right away! Also, don't blame someone else, tell the truth and we will work something out!

4. If you miss an assembly, bring me a seperate note for the assembly that I can keep.

5. Check marks when they are posted to make sure you handed everything in and that they are recorded.

That should do it! It is not rocket science!

Yeah for September!

Great to see you all again and looking forward to seeing you at the first Planning 10 assembly of the year on September 19!
