6th Graders,
This week marks the 6th week of the quarter and the week that grades are due in Pinnacle. Any student with a C- or lower will be receiving a progress report indicating that works need to be done to get back on track. If you know that you fit in that category and want to find out what you can do before these are sent out, come and see me. I will be more than willing to help.

Remember, there is an Extra Credit assignment you can do for every AOW which can be found on the Extra Credit Page.
