Q3: 1/31 to 2/18
The calendar below reflects adjustments for snow days and the PLC Friday held on 2/4. It is, however, still tentative. Check back here after any delays or cancelations for updates.
Click to load larger version.
A few notes:
- What was formerly your midterm will now be a large grade at the start of Q3. All component parts and expectations will remain in place.
- The background test originally scheduled for 1/21 will be held over two days, on 2/3 and 2/4.
We will work out the rest of the kinks as we need to, weather permitting.
