The Cedar Ridge Weekly
May 23, 2021
Message from Dr. Ramirez
Hello Cedar Ridge Students and Families,
Only 9 days of school left! We are all busy wrapping up the school year. This week we begin our finals--or what we call End of Year Teacher Made Assessments, as well as state mandated End of Course exams and CTE Exams. Our Teachers Made Assessments will begin on Monday and end on Wednesday, and our EOC/CTE exams, along with make-ups, will take us to the last day of school. Please see the testing schedule in this edition for dates and times.
I hope you all have a fantastic week!
Sincerely,
Dr. Ramirez
