Missing in Action.....

Hello!

Sorry for just updating the latest happenings in class...it has been busy and I am trying to work out the bugs to uploading assignments.

I hope all of my parents received my note about the homework issues. Over the weekend I will be working on getting the students logged into the website for Springboard. However, if you could please email me I can send you the website link and your students login information so you can register them onto Springboard.

Again, please feel free to email me at anytime.
