Or just wait until tomorrow. Thanks for your concerns. I love that you love learning. See you all tomorrow. Mrs. Singleton

Thank you, Mrs. Singleton

Attention Parents and Students- All students must complete 60 minutes of Odyssey every week. This is an expectation of all my students. Odyssey is a wonderful resource for our students to enhance their knowledge of what is being taught in class, as well as prepare them for the FCAT. It can also be used for remediation and enrichment individually and as a whole. This is one resource I use to ensure success for all of my students. Please make sure that it is being completed each week.
