Good afternoon Bobcats,
Winter break is quickly approaching, but it's not here yet. This week, we will start teacher-made exams on Wednesday and Thursday. First and third-period exams will be on Wednesday, and second and fourth-period exams will be on Thursday. We will also begin end-of-course testing on Friday with English II. Only English II EOC students are expected to come to school on Friday.
Have a great week!
Michael
