Weekly Update October 19th

Good morning, and welcome back to the first full week of second quarter! Although I wish I could see you all this week as originally planned, I hope you are looking forward to our walk on EB Raines this Friday (I know I am). If you plan to go, please remember to have your parent or guardian fill out the permission form and send it to your advocate. This week, with 45-minute classes, my hope is that we can get much of your work done during class time itself. As always, feel free to come to office hours with questions.

Classes: Monday/Wednesday, 8:45 – 9:30 AM

Office Hours: Tuesday/Wednesday, 2:00 – 3:00 PM
