Homework for Grades 6-8

February 9th to February 13th

ISTEPS are coming soon in March.  With all of these snow days, the students are out of sync.  The last test by the 7th graders show that it has impacted the learning.  The 7th grade classes will be working on practice tests to help them get ready.  Midquarters go home this Friday.   I believe that is still the plan.  We will try to keep you updated. Mr. Creutz and the faculty discussed the possibility of having elearning days. As of right now, that is the plan and will happen starting this week if bad weather occurs again. Please refer to an email to get the required work if an elearning day goes into effect for CLS!!!!   Have a great week!
