Good afternoon Jags!
Thank you to everyone for helping us have a successful first week of testing with English I and II. We will continue with Algebra/Biology/US History the first week of May and then AP exams to gain college credits. Work hard and study to do your best. Be sure and stay on top of your grades as we move through the final seven weeks of the 20-21 school year.
Sincerely,
