Miss Kirby Tells All About Class

The first semester is finally coming to a close! Grades will not be finalized however until Friday afternoon. Anything .5 and higher will round up on your report card (it won't show the higher letter grade on SchoolLoop though). Here is a link to the school website so you can check the finals schedule. Just for fun....

"The test is to recognize the mistake, admit it and correct it. To have tried to do something and failed is vastly better than to have tried to do nothing and succeeded." -Dale E. Turner US= You have your 2nd Quarter Study Guide due on Wednesday, 1/26 (for odd periods) or Thursday, 1/27 (for even periods). On that same day you will be taking part 1 of your 2 part final.
