Dear Student,


Today is the last day of school until we come back in the new year on January 3rd! In-class and Zoom classes will not be going on during the holidays, however, students will still have access to Moodle. This is a great time to catch up on missed work, or get ahead and read future course materials to get a deeper understanding. We are wishing everyone, happy holidays and we hope you enjoy this well-earned break!
