Hello parents, this has been a busy Friday! I hope you are all well.
Today we completed our science unit 1 assessment as well as our weekly spelling quiz. Next week I will be sending email with some grades and important information about the quarter exams which will be the week of October 29th-2nd. We will be having exams for all the major subjects as well as the special subjects. I will be sending home study guides by the end of next week for students to review at home with their parents. I will also be contacting parents through your children's assignment book in order to see if we can set up a meeting if needed for a quarter review. Not all students will need this.
