I hope you all have a fantastic, long, Veterans Day weekend. We have a four day week next week, and a three day week the following, due to Thanksgiving.
Thank you to everyone who responded to the Question of the Week. Check out the responses, and this week's question, below.
Next Friday, November 16, is the last day of the 2nd quarter progress reporting period, marking (roughly) the halfway point. Thank you for all of your efforts at communicating with students and parents and for providing reteaching opportunities when our students are struggling.
Congratulations to speech winners Maddie Del Rio and Camille Wiener -- see below for more information.
Have a great weekend!
