Academics

• Teachers are notified if any of their students will be in ISS via email:

Due to her behavior, student’s name has earned TWO DAYS of ISS, Wednesday, February 24th and Thursday, February 25th. Please gather any work she has missed or will miss, any remediation work you deem beneficial, and any work or activities that will promote her academic success in your classroom. Either email to hadams@hannasd.org or jmccoy@hannasd.org , place in mailbox, or deliver her work to ISS in room 221. Also, a brief email indicating her progress behaviorally and/or academically in your class would be helpful as our goal with the ISS program is to assure that students are working the entire day and that we address potential problems promptly.
