Math 9 Midterm

Math 9 will write their mid-term on Friday, March 16th. This midterm will cover Rational Numbers and Linear Relations. Midterms continue on Monday for their other classes. English is on Wednesday, March 21st.

Parent Teacher interviews are on March 29th in the evening (6pm to 8 pm) and on March 30th (9am to 11am) in the morning.

Get to bed at a good time and eat your breakfast - midterms are easier if you are looking after yourself! And yes, study!
