-There is a BOGO (buy one, get one) Book Fair in the front lobby of the school the first week of May. Many of the titles for Summer Reading will be featured!
-Look for e-mails and updates about next year's BYOD program, including parent nights.
-Reminder: the 4th quarter late policy is that work will be accepted late up until the Friday of the following week, allowing students up to as many as 11 days to still turn in work for credit. After that Friday, however, missing work will change to a permanent 0.

Math (Grade Level and Accelerated)
Grade Level: We have entered the sprint to the finish. On Thursday we will have a quiz on Statistics/Data and a quiz on Probability late next week. Between now and the final, we will be taking brief review quizzes of material we have covered. They can correct those for FULL credit. All corrections will be due by Wednesday the 27th of May. The final exam will be given the 27th and 28th (back up/extended time) of May. I have been reducing the homework load to allow students to focus on completing corrections.
Advanced: We are currently in our statistics unit and will be reviewing basis skills throughout the month. The Algebra final is also scheduled for the 27th and 28th of May.
(ALL) Progress Reports: I sent progress reports home over a week ago and they were due last Friday. If your student has lost theirs, simply go to Infinite Campus and send me an email showing their current grade.
