• Today we will be following the BLUE DAY schedule.  That means we start with an extended TA until 8:25.  During this time, teachers may request to meet with students for individualized help and instruction.  Otherwise, students will remain in their TAs and use this extra time to organize, study, or read!
  .
  After that, you’ll proceed to periods 1 through 7 — so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class.  Again, this is BLUE day. See your TA teacher with any questions.
  .
