October 9--20, 2023
A note from Mrs. Taylor ✏️ .......
Projects are continuing and students are doing a great job!
As the second six weeks comes to a close, GT Progress reports will be emailed to parents the week of November 6-10. This is a new addition to GT class this year. Students will receive a progress report at the close of the second, fourth and sixth six weeks.
We continue to work our schedule around lots of special events that are going on across campuses. It is a busy and fun time of the year as we head into the holiday season.
Thank you for sharing your students with me! They inspire me daily!
