AP/CE Preparatory Courses Online
By the end of the week, all students should begin their second unit. If they have not, it is okay. If they have, I hope to have grades for their first units up on parent online by Friday.
The purpose of these courses is to expand knowledge at the students' personalized pace. Several students have already found topics of particular interest to them. These students may not complete the first unit for another week as they work on enrichment projects of their design.

This week we are focusing on testing strategies. The middle school is completing MAP tests this week. Hopefully kids can gain some last minute strategies.
