Parents and students-
I will be out of work for the next four days due to surgery. I will not be posting on the blog. The students are always responsible for keeping all of their assignments in their own planner. I use this blog to keep parents up-to-date on what is going on in the classrooms on our hall and as a resource for students when they are absent.
