Today we will be following the B-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 2, 4, 5, and 6 — so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class. Again, this is a B-Day. See your TA teacher with any questions.

Smile for the camera! It’s Day-3 of TA pictures for the 2020 Yearbook. Here’s the rundown: 8th grade TAs will be photographed today and tomorrow — 7th grade TAs will be lnext Monday and Tuesday — and all grade-level Make-ups and retakes will be shot on January 29th and 30th.
.
The photographers will be arranging you into 2-lines for the picture… OR, if you’re feeling more imaginative — you’re encouraged to creatively stage and arrange yourself for the picture. Just be sure to practice your pose in advance — and make sure we can see everyone’s faces! See Mr. Schonfeld with any questions about the TA pictures.
