Week 7 Schedule
We had an eventful and packed week, marked by our first CLD Day, Long Advisories, and our first Community Dialogue in the gym! When speaking with the kids, many of them enjoyed CLD Day and used their time productively. Whether students were at home catching up on homework, working on a project, or going on a college visit, or whether they participated in on-campus workshops like soccer or soap-making, they all had positive things to say about the day. As a reminder, it is pertinent that all students turn in their CLD “Quiz” on Canvas to receive attendance credit for the day. Thank you for your cooperation.
We have another four-day week coming up!
