Mr M's Blog / Site




**All of Mr. M's students are expected to be part of a 'COG' group - a "cooperation group" - this is a small group of students which serves to cooperatively support the learning, the responsibility, and the general 'staying on track' of each group member - especially at times of a group member's absence(s) from school. COG members are expected to fully know the phone numbers and emails of every group member.


** Mr. M has only 3 rules; they are: BE FOCUSED, BE RESPONSIBLE, BE RESPECTFUL



Mr. M's English class:

There are 2 main course textbooks: Language and Writing (9) as well as a personal
dictionary. Usage of the  'LW9' text is meant for a substitute, if it should so happen
that Mr. M is forced to be on an extended leave from the classroom.
