A WAY TO STAY INFORMED....

Mrs. Nathalie has started using Remind 101 to help keep you informed of upcoming test and assignments.  If you would like to join Remind 101 all you have to do is test @69ac5 to 270-406-6141.  Don't worry your number will not show up and my number will not show up on your phone.  You will not be able to reply to test reminders either.  This is just a good way to be reminded of things that are due in class!!!  And don't' forget....all social studies reading assignments and AR test must be finished by the start of class on Thursday.  Happy Reading.
