Parent Teacher Conferences

Students and Parents,

On Thursday, February 12, the District has set aside time for all teachers to hold Parent/Teacher Conferences, however, I will not be available on this date to meet with parents.

February 9 - 18, I will be with the White Station High School Mock Trial Team each afternoon/ evening as they compete in the Memphis/Shelby County High School Mock Trial Tournament.

IF any parents or students feel that a conference is needed, we can certainly schedule that outside of the competition time period.

I can be reached via email at kannady2@scsk12.org or you may leave a message in the office for me to return your call at (901) 416-8880.

Thank you all!!

Bonus Quiz!!

Ladies and Gentleman,

I will be offering to you a bonus quiz.

Here is how it will work:

You will have the last 15 minutes of your class period on thursday to take and complete a 15 question quiz on the cell membrane. I will offer no study guide as the notes and other class materials are still available to you on the blog.

IF you do not want to take the quiz, that is fine, just say "no thank you."

IF you want to take the quiz, you will need to have a #2 pencil.

Only quiz grades of a C or better will be recorded.
