The end of the 2nd term is fast approaching - it's hard to believe how quickly time goes. Please remind your child that for all three of the classes listed, there will be a cumulative Final Exam at the end of the quarter. Due to the fact that we have an Early Dismissal on the 24th, all three finals will begin on Thursday, January 23rd. I do not want students to feel like they have to be in a hurry. I want them to take their time and do their best! :)
