4th Period Teacher Change

Kassi Hawkins will be taking over Mr. Rix’s 4^th period class for the second semester. She will be their teacher; responsible for planning, grading, and attendance.

The class will still be in room b-7 and they will continue to have the same texts, workbooks and novels.

Class will be continuing with The Samurai’s Tale reading, writing and vocabulary as well as with Grammar chapter 2 to start the semester.

Grades will continue to be updated and available on AERIES. Students will still be required to have and maintain Binder Reminders/Agenda daily. SSR books are necessary every day along with other materials.

Ms. Hawkins will be using a website much like Mr. Rix’s at thehawkclass.blogspot.com. Her email is khawkins@chicousd.org.

Note from Mr. Rix's Student Teacher:

Dear Parents;

As many of you may already know, I am student teacher currently placed in your child’s English classroom at Marsh Junior High School. Working with your child these past four months has been a rewarding and enriching experience and I have learned much from the students as well as from Mr. Rix

For the remainder of the semester I will be in the “solo-teaching” phase of my credential work and will therefore be planning the lessons and grading your child’s work. Of course Mr. Rix will still be on hand, but I wanted to let you know to feel free to contact me via Mr. Rix’s email if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you and best to you all,

Ms Hoover
