Important reminder!

Also, now would be a great time to make sure that your student's contact information is up to date with the school, especially if you've had any recent changes, to ensure that you get important robocall reminders or updates.

Friday is also the end of the first quarter marking period.

The quote is on display all week and the author/finder of the quote gets to select a student from the class that best emulates the quote. Adalynn Sivula was chosen this week for being exceptionally kind to everyone!
