Beginning of the 4th Marking Period NEWS

Hello all!

Today marks the first day of the 4th marking period. Although we are in the home stretch of the school year, it is still very important that students focus and complete their work on time, as we are still learning new material that will affect their 4th marking period grades and their scores on PSSA testing. Please continue to encourage students to put forth effort and complete all work. I am proud of their progress thus far and look forward to helping them reach their potential as math students.

SNOW days update

All classes will have a homework quiz tomorrow. Students should make sure their homework assignments are done and checked. I will be writing passes for anyone who would like to come in and check homework.

There will NOT be a quiz tomorrow. Math 7 classes' quiz will be pushed back to the Friday after we return from Spring Break. Algebra I class' quiz will also be the week we return, or the week after.

Due to PSSA testing in April there will not be a lot of homework. We will be working in class on math content right up to the week of testing.

Thank you for your flexibility.

Happy Spring!
