Trimester 3/ 2019
Due Dates for Trimester 3
NOTE: You will have far fewer quizzes, HW assignments, tests and paper grades than in previous trimesters; that information is important because it means that each grade will carry much more weight than any one grade has carried in a previous trimester. This, of course, is due to having a lot fewer days in class because we have spring break and Israel trip.
