Welcome to Week 31 (Apr 23-27)
On Wednesday, we thank and honor our incredible, hard-working administrative assistants/secretaries on Administrative Professionals' Day. Please take some time to stop by and thank them in the main office and in Student Services!
Reminders for the week:
· Thanks once again for having completed the Report Card process in a timely manner! Please make an effort to follow up with your TAs and be sure to try and receive acknowledgment that parents have seen the last Report Card.
· Only 7 weeks to go until the last day to submit units and write tests!
· Please refer to the Early Exam Schedule (Apr 24-May 23) which has been e-mailed to all teachers on April 16 (last Monday). We ask that you please pass this information along to your students as you normally do if you haven’t already done so.
· Earth Week events include lunch activities in the foyer--each day will have a different theme. The civvies day will take place on Wednesday- wear green for $2. Friday (weather permitting) we will have our annual MW clean up P4-5.
