The first quarter is just days away!
This Thursday, October 9th marks the end of the first grading period. Students have until the end of the school day to take AR Quizzes and turn in any late work to me. I cannot stress enough how important it is to meet reading goals. This is a significant grade because improving reading is a major goal stressed in Spencer County Public Schools. If you would like to check the progress of reading goals, please log onto Renaissance Learning and use the student username and password. Please let me know if you have any questions about this.
