Jan 3rd-7th Week in Preview

WELCOME BACK!!!!!

And HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday break!! We are back with two weeks left of second quarter and as always plenty to get done. The two main things to concentrate on these last two weeks are not get behind and do what is needed to get your grade where you want it to be.

The last day I will accept absolutely anything for second quarter is Wednesday, January 12th. That is also the last day to make-up/re-take the Quad/Poly Test for Geometry and the Ch 7 Test for Algebra II. Please see me with any questions!!

Here's what to look forward to this week...
