Week 21 - Parent Portal Information

Parent Portal
You should have received the access code and url for the parent portal to check grades.  On Friday during class, we will go to the school library and show the students how to check their grades.

Thank you!
Thank you to the families and students for helping to cut out the algebra tiles and donate plastic bags.  Each Friday after the students finish their quiz, they are allowed to choose an algebra problem card and a set of algebra tiles to work on.  It's a fun puzzle that the students enjoy and thank you for making this possible.
