Congratulations to Khalid and Jaclyn for passing all of their 3 minute tests and joining the “Math Wizards Club”.

Students are allowed to use a homework pass on one assignment.  They still need to comprehend what the homework assignment was because the concept will be assessed on each unit test.  Remember that homework passes may not be used for the Student Reading Log.

Reminder that this Wednesday, March 12th is a Late Start.  The first bell will ring at 9:35 a.m.  Breakfast will NOT be served in the classroom.  Students may go to the cafeteria at 9:00 for breakfast.
