2nd and 3rd Grade Christmas Break Homework

Dear Parents and Students,

     I've had difficulties with my account on Front Row. Mr. Woods has been notified and will contact Front Row as soon as we get back from the break to resolve the issue. As a result I was not able to assign students any assignments for the break. So, I have asked Mrs. Bagley to please give me her login information so that I could create a new class code for each grade and begin to assign work under her account. Students will log onto Front Row using the new class code created until my account is fixed with the appropriate grade level and access.
     I am aware that assignments may not be completed by the time classes resume, so I will have all assignments due by January 10th. From today that is exactly 13 days, the same amount of time that was given for the Christmas break.

     Second graders please log onto Front Row with your first and last name and new class code: 2cb6z9. Please click here for your login information. Once you have logged on, please compete the following assignments:

  • Reading Articles:
    • Jesse Owens

    • Langston Hughes
    • Althea Gibson

15 years ago.
     If students did not have immunizations up to date a letter was sent home by the NYSDOH informing the parent that their child COULD NOT RETURN TO SCHOOL until the records were updated.  
     Alba and Mr. Guzman will be calling parents this week and it must be addressed immediately - this is not a manana moment! This is beyond the school's control!

Assignments will be posted and accounted for. Reminders for parents, students who are failing in subject areas such as math or ela, should be logging in religiously and doing the assignments.
