End-of-Year Announcements

Please note that I am still in the middle of grading several assignments.  Any late/missing/re-done assignments will be graded LAST, once I have graded everything else; I will not update Pinnacle before then.  If you turned something in on time, but when you log into Pinnacle and it tells you a certain assignment is missing, be sure to click on the assignment; if the area in which you would normally see a score is blank, it means that I have not entered your score yet.  If you click on the assignment and see a "Z," then it means your assignment was never turned in.  If you do not have any missing assignments, bathroom and/or Olympian team passes can be turned in next week for extra credit. 

Enjoy the three day weekend!
