Please note that the end of the quarter is this week. I will be doing reportcards on Monday March 30th. If you notice many groups doing the same thing it may be due to the fact that we are finishing up T1 and T3 assessments for the end of the quarter. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me! MSA is still in effect so we are continuing with our alternate schedule for specials!
