Week of Aug. 23-27 2001

 Mr. Page's U.S. History Classes

Hello as we are now settling into the school year was we approach the end of the first month. Please be sure to regularly monitor your email for communications from the district office, school, and individual teachers. During these challenging times adjustments may need to be made quickly and it is important that communications are received and read in a timely manner. I can be contacted at the pagej@clarke.k12.ga.us or by phone at 706-546-5375 Ext. 21340.

This week in U.S. History we will cover Standard 5 and finish Unit 1.  Students will take the Unit 1 Exam on Friday, August 27th. Study guides were given out in Google classroom a week in advance to prepare for the exam. A copy of the study guide is also attached below.

Grades for the first progress reporting period will end on Friday September 10th and progress reports will be given out during advisement on Wednesday, Sept. 15th. No late work for that grading period will be accepted after September 10th so please be sure to that all missing work is submitted by that date. It is important to monitor assignments weekly in Google Classroom in order to not fall behind. This course moves quickly and graded assignments must be completed and submitted by the end of each progress report and report card period.
