FEBRUARY!!! Tuesday, February 1


Can you believe it's February already?!? As you come in, review the important reminders (same as yesterday) and begin your assignments:

- The new school name is Main Street Umoja Community School. Umoja means 'unity' in Swahili. The short name for the school will just be Umoja Community School.
- In order to start preparing everyone for waking up early and making it school on time, there will be a 15 minute detention for everyone who arrives after 1:00PM. This will get stricter once we change sites & times. If you're more than 15 minutes late each day, you're missing too much work. Please don't make me hang out with you after school everyday. It's not fun for me and it's cleaning chores for you. Detention = cleaning! You can thank my military father for that.
