NOTICE: THIS STUDENT PAGE IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING MOVED TO ANOTHER WEBSITE! My hope is to have the new site up and running by our January return, but I make no promises as I have to learn the new site, how to format it and update it weekly, as well as how to transfer all of my files from this site. Again, I will do my best, but until the new site is functional, please refer to your peers, the class boards, and finally me if you are absent and need information! Thanks for your patience and understanding!!
Welcome to Honors English 10!
On this page you will find the necessary information about what is going on in class daily. Remember that this is only basic information, and it may change without notice. Be sure to ask a classmate about what you missed when you were absent, or check the white boards upon your return.

Please note: Not everything that happens in class is listed on this page. The list of class time here is a basic outline of what we covered. ALWAYS ask someone what happened in class if you are absent so you don't get behind
Please remember: Per department grading policy, there will be NO POINTS AWARDED for make up assignments until your absence has been cleared through the attendance office. This means think very hard BEFORE you ditch class to go eat or hangout with friends! Uncleared absences can affect your grade and keep you from graduating!!

Keep in mind: Students turning in make up work due to absences will receive a zero until that absence is cleared through attendance. This is English department policy, not just Mrs. Shuman being particular!
