PE
At this time we will be unable to dress out for PE. So, instead of typical participation in sports at this time we will be using our PE class as a Study Hall. Students will meet with me in an assigned classroom where we will have access to computers to work on classwork from other classes or be able to participate in a FREE ACT prepatory class.
