Team Columbia
Average is OFFICIALLY over!
The close of the nine weeks is near!!
Team Columbia:
Please ensure that you reiterate to students that the last day to turn in work for the nine weeks will be September 29.
We will be in advisory for this week during Eagle Hour due to the behavior of the students with the silly string during the Pep Rally on Friday.
Please remember, we will have our district walkthrough on Wednesday. Please review the essential 5 document and the ELEOT Observation handout given at our last faculty meeting.
Have a great week of teaching and learning!!
