June 15 - June 19 (Final Week to Submit Outstanding Work)
Our remote learning is complete for the year. The final day to submit outstanding work is Friday June 19.
I highly recommend students spend some time going through the review lessons and practice sheets over the next few weeks that I have been posting on my website (or they could always work away at them over the summer) to make sure their skills stay sharp so they are ready for grade 9 math.
Thanks for an awesome year!
