While we find out what the directions for us are from CMS and NCDPI, I'll put updates here that apply specifically to our class.

The quarter ends this Thursday (March 26th), so make sure you complete any missing work and turn it in.

If we switch entirely to digital learning because we can't return to school in a couple of weeks, I'll give you the directions for what to do here. Digital learning will take place in Canvas, and make-up work is below. You can currently find supplemental work and make-up work in Canvas.
