Mrs. Seals Class
What is going on in the world of Social Studies
END OF THE YEAR
Sadly it is that time of year when many students are out sick. I know that this is inevitable. If your student is absent it is their responsibility to collect their missing work. A student has one day for each day they are absent to complete the work.
