Over the past few weeks, we have been working on reading comprehension with our grade nine students, both fiction and non-fiction. We have been focusing on topics that we feel are important for teens to be knowledgable about. One of those topics is the legal issues surrounding sexting - we want students to be informed of their responsibilities when communitating digitally. So your child may want to discuss some of these topics with you as we move through the mini-lessons. Report card marks are due next week, so any late assignments owing are due by Friday at the latest.
