34 Days Before Xmas Break...Let's Make Them Count!!!

November 5, 2012

We will be very busy until Christmas Break. Enough class time is given to complete the majority of assignments for many students. The expectation is that work will be finished at home if unable to finish in class. Please support your student by checking to see if their work is on schedule/complete.
