End of 3rd Quarter and CSAP

Students are now wrapping up the end of the 3rd quarter. I have requested that all test alternatives or make up labs be turned in by March 9th. Students are now finished with the Math section of CSAP and will be moving on to Reading/Writing tomorrow. This year, 8th grade students get to take CSAP for Science. Please make sure you are well rested and fed when you arrive each morning.
