Good Afternoon,
Reminder that there is no school for students on Friday, February 18th- Teacher Workday and Monday, February 21st- President’s Day Holiday.
This is a great time for students to catch up on unfinished work in their Google Classroom. They can access their work without internet access. Make sure students have completed all their outstanding assignments. See everyone Tuesday, February 22 with their assignments complete.
If you are unsure if your child is missing work- look in each of their google classrooms under assignments and they will show up there as unsubmitted work. Letters will be coming home with students who are currently failing. Make sure your child has completed their work- no work equals no grades. Thank you for your help in this matter.
