Announcements

  • Chromebook Audit Google Form (Fill out or Chromebook will be locked after 11/25)
  • No School 11/11 for Veterans Day Holliday
  • 11/19 is an early release day
  • Fall Break 11/26-11/30 (11/26 is a teacher work day)
  •  IF absent (especially if going on fall break early) I recommend working at home as much as possible!  Everything we're doing in class is listed below. If your class is working on a project, see me for materials before you go or you can work on them after the break but you will need to make up that time outside of class so you don't get further behind.
