Final Week of the First Quarter!!

As the first quarter comes to an end, ( I know, I can't believe it either) this is the last week that students will recieve credit for any and all assignments before the gradebooks are closed and the grading period officially comes to an end. Parents please inform your students to go to their instructors and make up any missed assignments (if the instructor allows) and turn them in quickly for a grade. Also, this week is Spirit Week and students will be allowed to dress out of uniform as long as the dress code matches the theme for the day. Also, some projects are due this week and count as a major grade in the class and portfolio assessment. Please remind students that these assignments are extremely important and must be completed by due date!!
