I want you to stay home and get better. I also want you to check my web page to see what you missed and ask me for supplies and materials (if necessary) when you return.

Remain seated and attentive until dismissed.Contact Information: Mrs. McCladdie’s Phone: 706-592-4534 Email: mcclaly@richmond.k12.ga.usPlanning time: Class web pages: hmsPlease check class web page calendar regularly for class assignments and announcements.Make sure you keep up with Parent Portal to view your child’s progress in class.Keep this in your notebook and return the signature sheet.
