Team Columbia
Average is OFFICIALLY over!
Testing Day on Wednesday
Team Columbia:
We have many exams that will be administered on Wednesday. Therefore, we will not have Eagle Hour to accommodate those exams. We will operate our 4-period lunch schedule on Wednesday. Also, please assist our Greenpower Team. They are spearheading a fundraiser to help support their final race on May 4. They will be hosting a Family Feud fundraiser. Please administer the appropriate survey to your seminar class. See below under Seminar Instructions.
TAKE ATTENDANCE DAILY IN EACH CLASS PERIOD IN INOW!!
Many of you are not taking attendance all day. It is the school-wide procedure and expectation to take attendance in each class every day within the first ten (10) minutes of class. Make it your practice to give a bellringer everyday so that you can complete this task. This is not optional but a requirement.
Please adhere to this directive.
