Books are $10. Orders can be sent to the office until Wednesday March 6th to receive a signed copy of the book.
Good afternoon,
I am sending out this message to let all parents know that I have sent home in a envelope directed to you a progress report for the 3rd quarter. It shows the grades they have received on all assignments up to this point. Anything that is highlighted in yellow shows a zero because of not being turned in. Feel free to reach out to me regarding any questions you may have.
