Final Exam Review Packet






Parents: A handful of students are at risk for missing out on the end of year field day and grade 6 picnic based on their high number of tardies to classes, Failing grades, and behavior referrals. If your child is on this "at risk" list, we sent home a letter and grade sheets for you to sign and return. After school homework support ends on May 30th (AST last day).
