Hello all! Just a quick reminder from Mrs. Conner:

I just updated your grades on Edline. Be sure to check it to see if you have any missing assignments. There are quite a few out of each class! Now is not the time to be slacking. We only have 12 more days of school left and many performances, practices and trips that interfere with you being in class.

ALSO, THE MONSTER GENETICS LAB IS DUE THIS FRIDAY BEFORE CLASS. IT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED LATE SINCE YOU HAVE HAD ALL WEEK TO FINISH IT UP. IT WILL BE AS MUCH AS A QUIZ GRADE SINCE WE DID IT IN LIEU OF A TEST/QUIZ. COME SEE ME AFTER WESTEST IF YOU ARE STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH PUNNETT SQUARES, PERCENTAGES OF OFFSPRING OR JUST WANT TO BE SURE YOU ARE DOING IT CORRECTLY. I HAVE ALREADY HAD A FEW STUDENTS STOP BY TO GET HELP!

Have a great evening!
