After Spring Break!
Parents and Students. After the break chemistry students will start chapter 18, and physical science students will start chapter 22. Please make sure that you are familar with the previous material. We will start right were we left off before break.
Students that were absent Thursday or Friday and missed the test. You must make it up when you get back so that I can change you grade for the third quarter. This must be done by me through the office after your test has been made up.
I hope everyone has a great break.
Coach Grissom
