Progress Reports

4th Core students will receive their progress reports in the morning.  I was not able to get onto the Internet to print their progress reports today due to technical problems.  4th Core students also  have an extra day to study for the test on "The Case of the Speckled Band."

Students need to make sure they have turned in the work for "The Girl Who Discovered Dinosaurs" and  "The Case of the Speckled Band."
