Mrs. Stubbs's English Blog: Normal Schedule? What's That?

Every time I think we're going to go back to "normal" in our schedule, something is off. In this case, it's two things:

1.) On Wednesday during 3rd Hour we'll be taking a few minutes to go over different lock-down scenarios in case we had a situation that would warrant putting the ALICE system in place. This system would only be used in a situation that warranted evacuation of the building, or barricading in the building. We're not doing drills, and it shouldn't take long, but we will cover a couple of scenarios. This can be disturbing for some students (as it is for me), so I thought as parents some of you would want to know that we're doing this.

2.) I forgot - on Friday I'm going with my son to Toronto for a school competition, so I'll be out for the day.

So here's what we've got going this week:
