Mathematics
This week we have successfully completed our 2nd district benchmark in math. I am proud of the students hard work. Many students showed improvement. We are also beginning our units on Algebra this coming week. Most students have risen to the challenge of showing all of their work on their homework and tests. Remember in order to receive full credit work must be shown or the highest possible grade is an 89. Please continue to check Power School weekly. Our goal is to have 100% turn in rate. I am not sure what you think, but this year is flying by and we have so much still to do. Our students will be working hard this 9 weeks. Thank you for all you do to support our team.
