Welcome Back!

Welcome back to J.C. Hill School.  Our goal this year is to utilize the blog as a tool for communication and organization in the 7-3 class and throughout the school.  I will try to keep the blog as up-to-date as possible with classwork, assignments/homework, important dates, and other things that are happening in the school (ie. pictures, video, work).  Your job is to CHECK the BLOG frequently!  In class every Wednesday morning we will be checking the blog in class.  You can also check at home if you have internet.  Hopefully we can make the blog a successful tool this year!!!
Thanks
Mr. Hickey
