WEBSITE IN PROGRESS

http://mrshirchbergerscorner.weebly.com/

Please take a look at my new website in progress. I will be able to work on this website at home. This will slowly become my main website. Thank you for your continued patience.

We are also continuing with our DAVEs (Daily Academic Vocabulary Exposure). This is a school wide initiative and the words for the week are:

EVERY CLASS WILL HAVE SIR (Silent Independent Reading). It is not posted on the schedule below because it is a part of every class period.

RESPONSIBILITY POLICY: This is a very important policy and parents were informed of this policy in the first few weeks of school.

HOMEWORK and COPY POLICY: Homework will be set aside for any student that is absent for a day or two. Please contact the main office if your child will be absent for any time longer and/or if they have a doctor’s note. ALSO, Spanish is a very difficult subject for student’s do to on their own at home. For some instruction, they must be in class. For this reason, I am flexible with turning in assignments after an absence. We have a limited supply of copy paper this year in the school district
