74 days until next school year!

• Objective:
  1. Students will learn about the expectations for next year so they can be prepared for what comes next.
• Warm-Up:
  1. Warm-Up 2025-06-13: Discussion Prep
     1. We are only here for a short time and will not be using the computers. Do not start an activity that will lead to distraction.
  2. Warm-Ups are usually a 5 point Independent Work grade if a written response is expected, or a 5 point Assessment grade if the Warm-Up is a quiz. They are due at the start of class and not eligible for late submission or re-submission.
