Midterm Review

The midterm review can be found here. It is being handed out in class today.

A completed midterm review is a free 100 classwork grade if it is completed.

The answers can be found here.

I do not recommend that you go straight to the answers, rather that you attempt the midterm review and then check your answers.

Good luck to you all!!!

Locked out!

Students, parents, and friends,

I am sad to share I have been locked out of all things SCS. I cannot access my online gradebook (aka, PowerTeacher), email, attendance, etc. I will be calling IT on monday morning. I recognize this is TERRIBLE timing, I am quite frustrated!!!

Hopefully, someone at IT will be able to fix it quickly on Monday and I will be able to get back to updating grades and everything else.

Thank you for your cooperation.
Mrs. K
