Last Grading Cycle? You Bet!

Okay, we are on the last grading cycle for our 2008-2009 school year. WOW, it has gone by fast!

 

Eighth graders will be hearing back from high schools these next few weeks; seventh graders should be making sure that their grades are looking good for when they need to apply to high schools next year. I know that it seems far away, but many eighth graders seem to wish that they would have started researching high schools, applications, programs and requirements earlier.

 

Time flies, that’s for sure! Remember, you still have nine more weeks in this grading cycle. Stick with your classes so that what you need to be learning in those classes can stick with you!
