Supplies you will need throughout the year - Although the school does provide all the essentials, most students prefer to have their own personal supply of some items:

  • pencils (LOTS of pencils!)
  • erasers
  • colored pencils
  • highlighter
  • red felt-tip or gel pen for correcting work
  • loose-leaf lined paper
  • Either 1 large 3-ring binder with dividers, or 3 small ones (to keep returned work organized)
  • two (2) cheap calculators (one for school and one for home)
  • earbuds for use with your Chromebook on approved activities
  • tissues
  • ruler
  • scotch tape

 


It's easy for both students and parents to stay informed

  • I will be making extensive use of this website with my classes throughout the school year.  The Homework Page (bookmark it!) will be updated on a daily basis with current assignments.  You'll also find photos, videos, and links to projects and extra credit.
     

  • Grades are accessible online through Power School.  If you need login information, please contact our school secretary (Mrs. Gray) at 325-3063.
     

  • District-wide events, including athletics, can be found on our various online calendars.
     

  • The best way to contact Mr. Grimes is by email (grimesd@benzieschools.net).  I also check my voicemail daily (325-3063, ext. 5233), although I often have to wait until after school is over to return calls.  The outgoing phone message will serve as our Homework Hotline, and will be updated each evening by 4:00 with that day’s assignments, just like the Homework Page.
