Spring has begun, the birds are returning, the days are getting longer. Now if the snow will just stop falling and melt away then spring sports can get going, and students can get outside to burn off the extra energy built up during the day. With Spring comes April 10th and the end of term 3. That means you have about 8 more days to get work completed and turned in before grades close. Report cards will be distributed on Friday April 17, right before April Vacation.
This will be another week of PARCC testing. ELA Grade 9 on Monday and Wednesday, period C; ELA Grade 11 on Tuesday, and Wednesday, period A only. Friday there is no school due to Good Friday. There is no time to waste.
