Week of April 7 to April 11

This Week's Schedule:  Tuesday's TT is open.  Wednesday is closed. Make an appointment for Tuesday. 

Teacher-Made TT Appointments: If I make a TT appointment for you, please come to room 122 for TT.  If you feel you should go to another class, please come to room 122 and ask me to change the appointment (or get a pass to your other class). 

New Gradebook: There is a new gradebook for 4th quarter. Remember, the semester grade is the average of the two quarters.  So, your grade for 2nd semester will be the average of your percentage grades for the 3rd and 4th quarters. 

Dance Recital!  CVHS's newest class is Dance.  Come to a recital Friday evening, April 25th.  Tickets are available on the school website (cheap!).
