Dear Parents and Students,
Grades will officially be posted for 3rd Quarter during the week of 3/20-3/24. I made sure to complete and finish grading all student materials the weekend prior so that no changes will need to be made other than late submissions. A reminder to ALL STUDENTS, late submissions CAN STILL BE SENT IN until Tuesday, 3/21, for 3rd Quarter. Beyond 3/21, grades will be closed, posted and finalized. Students in 6th Grade: Be sure to e-mail me if you are submitting anything in late, so I can check the Google Forms site that receives almost all of our class work. Students in 7th Grade: Be sure to tell me IN CLASS what you have updated/finished for your notes, or if you decided to retake the test. If you are working with Hard Copy notes, be sure to give them to me before we file them back in with your folder. THIS SPRING VACATION, I will be clearing out our old notes to reduce clutter in your folders. If any students or parents have questions, feel free to e-mail me or call the school. My office extension is 1810. -Zachary P. Diers -I.T. 3 Dear Parents,
