Class Calendars
Class Calendars
Our week's work will be written on the whiteboard grid in the classroom, and the google doc Lesson Calendar is linked HERE. This is a living document that will be updated as changes occur through out the semester, and all changes will be announced in class and updated on the side board as well.
The Lesson Calendar lists what we do in class every day, when we have quizzes and major grades, when we have projects, etc. and it also includes schedule details like Pep Rallies, State/AP Testing Days, Early Release Days, Exam Schedules, and No Homework nights, etc. so it is a pretty useful resource.
