I hope you expect to pass this class and excel; if you are not meeting your expectations right now you need to see me to find out what you can do to raise your grade. Have you bought Tangerine? (50 points) Have you bought something for the Boxes of Love? (20 points or ?) Finally do you have an Aeries printout of your grade and parent's note and signature?
