6-Day a Week Lesson Planners
Once in a while I am asked via email if I have any six-day a week planners. I do and I usually email the planner to the individual. Today I've made 3 of the 6-day a week planners available online. You'll find them in the Lesson Plan Forms > Weekly. (linked below)

Grades and Attendance Web Site Reworked
During the last two days, I reworked the Grades and Attendance file pages and help pages. Maybe it is better this time, and the files can be found, and the helps can be helpful. :-) While I was at it, I added a web page about grade weights. I linked the new page from some of the G&A web pages, and here is a temporary link: What is Weighing Grades?

Diplomas
Typically I bring the diploma forms out during the time between April-June, but since the demand for them seems to be year-round, this particular group of diplomas will be a permanent feature. The set includes one typeable PDF, 3 doc's and 3 rtf's. The diplomas are in the High School section.

The Rich Text Format (RTF) and DOC
files were created with Microsoft Word 97 (not Works) or Microsoft
Word 2002. Microsoft Word should open any of the word files successfully. Several other word processors might open the RTF or DOC files.
The Acrobat files [PDF] should
open with Acrobat Reader 5 or higher. Most of the PDF files can not "type-over", but some can be typed on. 
The Typeable PDF are marked with this icon and the description of the file
will state that the pdf file can be typed on.
[XLS] The Excel files, sometimes
referred to as MS Excel will open with some applications that support
spreadsheets; however not all of these applications will support the codes
in my excel files. Because of this, some of my excel files will only work
with Microsoft Excel.
