I informed students of their missing/absent/make-up work Wednesday of this past week. I just finished updating all the work that was received and all of the grades up to this point. Please take a look at Power School- at your child’s grades- as soon as you can.
*I will have a make-up day on Friday March 6th for ALL TESTS and QUIZZES that were missed.
*If your student has a missing assignment (not a quiz or test)- PLEASE have them make it up for a late grade before Friday.

I really appreciate your help in getting rid of all these zero’s. –Thanks! Amanda Norton
