Explorers Taking Electives Term 4 or Term 5
Students! If you took art or music in term 4 and/or if you will be taking art, music, or PE 204 in term 5, plan to stop by the school this week from 8am to 2pm to drop off and/or pick up supplies. All transactions will be managed curbside. You should have received an email from your teacher with specific instructions for your class. Students in 7th grade science will receive an email letting them know when to pick up their lab supplies for quarter 3 as well.
Grades for term 4 and Quarter 2
Grades for term 4 and quarter 2 will be posted when we return for second semester, in January.
Interim / IMSSA Testing
We will be having interim testing in January for all 6, 7 , and 8th graders. This testing is to provide data on progress based on the testing done in October.
