Hey,
Hey, Hey! Are you missing
assignments? Do you need to revise an
assignment or two? If so, I HIGHLY SUGGEST you use the extended Thanksgiving
break to complete/revise assignments. I
know it’s not ideal during your holiday, but you CAN turn things around this
week. Look at IC to see what you’re
missing and find those assignments in your core binder. The last day to turn in late/missing assignments is Friday, Dec 11th.
