Blaze Bulletin
Edition 12- November 7th
Greetings...
Dear teachers,
Just a reminder that interims will be printed Monday afternoon for distribution Wednesday. Please have your grades updated and make sure to have enough grades (about 2 per week) so that students and parents have a clear understanding of student progress. Grades must be updated by 10am on Monday so they are correct on the interim report.
Sincerely,
Dr. Leisa Justus
Principal, Blackman High School
