Hello everyone! Grades for all my classes have been updated, so take a few minutes to check PowerSchool this next week. If there is a mark missing, it's most likely because the assignment hasn't been turned in yet, so make sure you do that before the end of this Quarter (especially for my I.O. classes). If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via email or the school phone number list above. Looking forward to another great week here at St. Francis!

Hello, and welcome to the last week of Semester 1! I hope you all had a relaxing weekend and were able to get out and enjoy the snow (and the warm weather, I guess!). With the end of Semester 1, comes midterms, as all the students (should!) know. Exam times and days have been posted around the school and are on the school website as well (link here).
A reminder to all my classes: you have until midnight January 23rd to hand in any missing assignments from the start of the school year until now. If you're unsure of what you're missing, you have a couple of options: 1) check your PowerSchool, as all marks have been updated. Any missing grades or 0 marks indicated missing assignments. 2) come have a chat with me/email to see what you're missing and what you can do to make those marks up. Parents, this offer is extended to you as well, if you wish to know what assignments have been missing.
Finally, during this exam time, I would like to remind you all to ensure you're taking care of yourselves. Eat a fruit or vegetable once in a while, make sure you're getting enough sleep, limit your amount of Fortnite/screen time, and take a break from studying! All of this will help you stay focused and calm, and will help you remember your quadratic equations (or whatever it is you're studying in Math!).
Best of luck to all! If you have any questions, concerns, or just need to talk, feel free to contact me whenever. Have a great week!

Hello all! Just a quick reminder of my unofficial office hours tomorrow, Monday, January 14th, from 3-5pm in Room 202. If you can stop by, I'd love to meet and have a chat with you. Otherwise, it'll be a very boring evening of getting work done!
