Extending the First Quarter

Dear CEHS Parents:

I made a mistake. In deciding the end dates for grading quarters this year, I made the first quarter too short. The result has been teachers scrambling to finish up units and students, more than usual, getting multiple major tests/projects in a compressed time. So...I am changing the quarter end dates. The new dates will be:

End First Quarter: Friday, November 4
End Second Quarter: Friday, January 20
Midterms and Makeup: Monday, January 23-Friday, January 27
End Third Quarter: Friday, March 30
End Fourth Quarter: Tuesday, June 5
Final Exams and Makeup: Wednesday, June 6 -Tuesday, June 12

Thanks.
