3rd Quarter Grades

TENTATIVE 3rd Qtr grades have been posted on Skyward.

I returned from my leave of absence today, giving me more time to work with students wanting to retake various assessments. If you have a quiz or test that you would still like to retake, please send me an e-mail at SGrothfam@aol.com to arrange a time to meet.

Remember, 3rd qtr grades are "fluid". I can adjust/change them until the end of the semester. And ultimately, it is the semester grade that is the most important.
