U.S. History

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope that you had a great weekend. As we enter our final two weeks of school it is imperative that you work on catching up on your missing work during our social learning period. I have sent individual emails to those who are missing work and reached out to some of your parents in order to make sure you are on track to receive credit. I will send another email out listing any missing work later this week. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us. Also there will be no video for you to watch again this week just the article reflection logs to complete.

Have a wonderful week,

Mr. Murray and Ms. Colter
