Ms. Dempsey's Grade 7-High SchoolLanguage Arts, Social Studies, Health, & Drama Classes Welcome to another school year 2011-2012  It is hard to believe that we are already halfway through the first semester of Grade 7 and life at River Glen. Last week report cards went home and student's course marks can be viewed on Powerschool by logging in with their personalized user name and password. Christmas will be approaching quickly and course content will be coming fast and furious. Please be sure that your child is taking time at home to complete all assignments and reviewing course material regularly.

= Welcome Students = //- Allow you to download and print your assignments// //- Provide you with valuable resources to help you get your work done well// //- Let you keep in touch with your fellow students// //- Allow you to discuss issues presented in class// //- Give you a way to ask your teacher questions no matter where you are!//
 * This page is for you!!! **
 * It's designed to: **
 * //-// **//Help you keep track of assignments and due dates//

While it's part of our goal to let you guys have fun with the wiki, in order to keep it functional and focused, there are a few things we need to ask you to comply with. :) //: ) // //A few important guidelines for using the wiki://
 * 1) **//Students may not begin discussion threads//** - you may only engage in discussion boards which have been begun by a teacher
 * 2) **//Students may not respond to discussion threads with unrelated comments//** (For example, if the discussion board topic is health - don't respond with "OMG.... I'm like soooo bored right now.. is anyone here???? o_o") Our discussion boards are for school purposes only, and do **__not__** function as an instant messaging service! That's what Facebook and Yahoo Messenger are for.
 * 3) **//Students may use the "Student Lounge" discussion thread on this page to share thoughts/messages with friends about matters unrelated to school.//** HOWEVER - I say again that this thread __**isn't**__ an instant messenger. No one should ever log on fifteen times inside an hour saying "Is anyone here???" - It doesn't groove like that. ;)
 * 4) **//Students may not edit pages//** - this is something you should save for your own wikis!
 * 5) **//Students may email teachers using the wiki-mail feature any time with questions or concerns!//** (Yes, we like to hear from you!)
 * 6) **//Students may have fun using this awesome technological tool!//**
