Mavericks Team Update

IMPORTANT ABOUT TOMORROW'S FIELD TRIP!
Students may bring a small bag, if needed. However, there are no lockers or no place to securely place any items that students bring. So, chaperones, CBE, and EGMS are not responsible for lost or stolen items.
Announcements
Last day to turn in any late/missing/redone work for core classes is Friday. However, teaching and learning is still going on! Next week we will still be finishing our projects, of which are for a grade.
Library books were due LAST Friday. Students will be updated later this week as to if they still have any missing books.
