MMM 5 April

These next two weeks will have odd schedules and content because of testing, but you will still be making progress! Test prep week will have a normal “bell” schedule, but you’ll rotate through classes halfway through the week. All the content in these modules is valuable, with or without a test - you will be reviewing key skills and critical thinking approaches. As you’ll see below, the work you complete in these modules will contribute towards core credits.
 
Next week for testing, every day will follow our typical Friday timing. You’ll take modules in the morning (and be pulled out here and there for tests) and will have optional activities to participate in after lunch. Check your e-mail for more details on that to come.
 
Enjoy the beautiful weather! We will get you all out of the building from time to time so we can enjoy the sunshine together. Including on Thursday at the Rockies game! Scroll down for logistics on that field trip - and check your inbox later today for a separate e-mail with important information about that trip, too.
