Attendance tickets this week are orange, and Mrs. Treanor has them cut and ready for you to pick up in the office.

Please remember to let the office know when you are going to be gone, and who the guest sub is going to be. Not only does that help ensure we have coverage both in the classroom and for duties, but also so we make sure we have a time card for the guest sub.

Not only is this a great reminder for us, but also for students. So true:
