ATTENTION ALL OF YOU TALENTED SHABAZZ FOLKS!

The first audition session will be held during first hour on Tuesday, October 27th.

The second audition session will be held during first hour on Tuesday, November 3rd.

PLEASE COMPLETE AN AUDITION RESERVATION FORM AND PLACE IT IN THE ENVELOPE ON DENISE'S DOOR (RM. 35). A student from the CLASS course will retrieve you from your own first hour class when it is time for your audition.


If you are interested in trying out for the role of Coordinator of Ceremonies for the Talent Show, we will be holding those auditions in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned!

First Quarter Coming to an End

As we wind down the quarter, please be sure to complete all assignments and check on your absence totals with your teachers.

The Grading Window for all of Denise's & Angee's classes closes on Wednesday, October 28th. No assignments will be accepted after that date to allow for effective evaluation.

Be sure that you complete an evaluation using our FileMakerPro computer system before the end of the quarter -- preferably yet this week.

Enjoy the long WEAC weekend!

Remember that next week is a short week, too. You will have classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Then, you can enjoy another long weekend prior to the start of Quarter Two.

Second Quarter Course Descriptions

Errors Galore!

Hey folks, there were many errors made in the Second Quarter Course Description booklet. Please check with all of your teachers to make sure that you will be registering for the correct classes and for the correct type of credit.

The original AND CORRECT course descriptions that I submitted for the booklet are posted on my classroom door -- Room 35.
