With the February Break soon upon us (and, thereafter, the end of February), that also means that our Term 2 Report Cards are coming soon - Friday, March 11 to be exact. In order to get everything organized before this deadline, I have set the "first Friday after the Feb. Break" - Friday, March 4 - as the FINAL DAY of Term 2. All Term 2 assignments/homework MUST be handed-in by this date. Those students who fail to meet this deadline may earn an "Insufficient Evidence" (IE) on their report card.
