**Dear Parents, Third quarter brings with it more difficult, but fun material. It is my hope that all students will begin to see their hard work begin to pay off as they use their Spanish more and more. In order to achieve this goal, it is important that students complete all homework assignments when they are given. In the seventh grade, students still have one day to make up a missing assignment; however, in the eighth grade, no late work will be accepted during third or fourth quarter. You can expect to see homework every day except for Fridays.
