Hello Marina Families
Week three and we are doing well! I was able to visit a few classes and talk to some students. I want to remind students and parents that all teachers have office hours from 2:15 to 3:25 if you wish to get any help on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday. They also have office hours on Wednesday mornings following advisory...Please use this to get some help. There will be special tech hours on Wednesdays from 10 to 12:05 with Mr. Vong. He will
be creating a link this week which we will post.
I hope you all have a great week!
Ginny Daws
