‼SEMESTER FINALS‼
Semester FINAL tests will be Thursday and Friday. All even class hours (2nd, 4th, 6th hour) will test on Thursday. All odd class hours (1st, 3rd, 5th hours) will test on Friday. Remember►► to protect the testing environment, students will not be called out of class DURING class time. If they finish early, a student will remain in the classroom for the entire time. This procedure allows other students to continue working on their tests without disruptions. Thank you for your attention in this matter. We want to ensure ALL students are in an environment conducive to testing. Please ensure all appointments are scheduled around your student's testing time.

When an archaeologist extracts fossils from the earth, they must use extreme care to not damage or compromise the fossil while removing it. In Mrs. Simmonds Science class, students are simulating paleontologists and extracting ‘fossils’ without damaging them - here's the hard part, they use chocolate chip cookies as the fossils! I hope they don't accidentally EAT them! 🍪

The battles continue...
In Coach Dexter's class, students are researching different battles fought by the Americans and British. To get students more interested, sometimes a change of scenery is needed. During this research, students worked in groups in the cafeteria.

The students love to look for him every morning and find out what silly things he was doing the night before!
