e have completed one-third of this final quarter of 2018-2019 already and as you will see herein, this is one of the busiest periods of the entire school year. Please remember that we will be issuing 4th quarter progress reports soon, so I ask that all of our Bears get any missing or incomplete assignments completed as soon as possible.
As for this week's update, I also ask that our community take particular note of the testing calendar and our Class of 2019 schedule. Have a great week and thank you for looking over some of our recent "Bear happenings!"
