Heading into the Final Quarter
The 4th Quarter Progress Reports were distributed to students on Thursday, May 2. Fourth quarter entails a great deal of class and school testing. Students should maintain a healthy lifestyle and regular attendance. Students and parents should be thinking about what the student needs to complete in order to achieve his/her academic goal for the final grading period.
