Scholarship Warnings & Extra Credit Opportunity

All EOC review grades have been updated in grade portal.  Students with below an overall grade of 75% will be receiving scholarship warnings today (5/13, A-Day) and tomorrow (5/14, B-Day).  These scholarship warnings will be due back to me with a parent signature on Thursday (5/15, A-Day) and Friday (5/16, B-Day).
