Teacher Comments:

You may reach me at any time on my personal e-mail which is mj_sturges@yahoo.com.

Please be sure to check all papers your child brings home. 5th graders will bring home their papers in their Monday Folders. Grades 6, 7, & 8 will bring their papers home as they are passed out. If a paper is stamped "Parent Signature Required," please make sure corrections are made and the paper is returned to me. I make a notation in my grade book to indicate whether or not the paper was returned, corrected and signed.

Thank you for making this such a successful year.
