We now have only 4 days until the December break followed by 7 days until the week of testing.
There is no School Friday for students or staff.
This Tuesday, we have the last interim report before final semester grades. Parents/guardians – if you need assistance in seeing grades and attendance regularly, let us help you set up your account.
It is imperative that students are making the most of these last few weeks in getting their grades up as high as possible. State exam core classes (Math 1, Math 3, Biology, English 10) which have final exam grades that count for 20% have exam prep sessions on Saturdays with food being served. Please e-mail your student’s teacher if more information is needed.
Final exams are right around the corner. Wednesday January 10th and Thursday, January 11th are full days and are for exam review, teacher made, and GCS final Exams. Friday, January 12th is the state exam for Block 1 from 9:15 to 1. The week thereafter, Tuesday through Friday are scheduled for Blocks 2, 3, 4 and make ups, from 9:15 to 1. More specifics of the schedule will be in the next Bison Bulletin. The last day of the 1st semester/final grades is Friday, January 19th.
