Homework: 250 pages, Final Book Report Due May 15

*Special Note* I sent the following message to your families via email this morning: I will not be at school this morning due to my basement flooding overnight. Because this was unexpected, I was not able to finalize progress reports this morning as I had planned. So instead of the substitute teacher handing out progress reports today, I will pass out progress reports Monday. Grades will also be available on Powerschool online later this evening and up-to-date. **If your scholar does Community Service Club, we WILL be meeting this afternoon still. Thank you and contact me by email or cell (3148070333) with any questions. -Ms. Tobin
