Signing Off

With finals looming next week and the issues with scanning I am experiencing, it is time to let the website rest for the summer.

Review assignments will be going out in all classes over the next couple of days in anticipation of finals on Tuesday and Wednesday next week. All review assignments will be completed in class and will not be considered homework. Class finals will be the last graded assignment.

REMEMBER:

All text books are due Friday 5/15

Finals Tue/Wed 5/19 & 5/20

Grades posted 5/21 by 3:30 PM

5/26- GOLDRUSH - We still need parent volunteers to help with this activity.

5/27- 8th Grade Picnic - Look for a permission slip next week. Each advisory is responsible for donating a specific food item.

5/28- Promotion @ 11:00 AM. Students may sign out with a parent/guardian after the ceremony for the remainder of the day.
