PLEASE READ:
Dear Grade 6 and 7 Parents and Students,
Beginning Monday, March 16th, we will work together to complete daily assignments for Grade 6 ELA and Grade 7 Math. I completely understand that this is different from traditional learning; however, I intend to make this experience as seamless and as beneficial as possible. We are very fortunate to have access to online sources that will enable us to keep on track and to help us to continue to reach our academic goals for this school year!
All assignments will be posted by 9:00am each morning. I will indicate the due date for each assignment. Some assignments will be submitted on Google Classroom and some will require submission by either scanning or taking a picture of your completed workbook page and emailing it directly to me (tgramegna@stpatrickssi.org). All assignments must be submitted by the due date given. Some assignments will be graded and as always, all grades will be available on Cornerstone.
Please feel free to contact me via email with any questions or concerns. Sending prayers to everyone to remain safe and healthy during this time!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gramegna***If you experience an iPad issue, please contact St. Joseph by the Sea directly at help@josephsea.org
