Portal Closes on Wednesday night. I will have all grades in the Aspen gradebook. Please know that if you see a 50, that its probably a missing assignment. If your child has a missing assignment, they have till the end of the 9 weeks to get it in. Also, if your child brings home a grade they are not happy with, they may do a redo. Please refer to Mrs. Fortson's redo policy which will give detail on how to re-turn in an assignment. Mrs. Derry's class follows the same policy.
