A Note about Power School:
I have posted the first vocabulary quiz and first study guide scores on Power School.  If you see an "I" and a corresponding score of "0", it represents an "Incomplete".  That means the paper you turned in did not have all of the requirements needed to get credit for it.  The problem(s) are indicated in green ink and you can make the corrections and resubmit it for credit.  Incomplete assignments do not have a nature stamp on them.
