Congratulations on the completion of Summer Quarter!

Remember to go to registration tomorrow! Check with your reading teacher for the time!
Just for those of you who didn't pass the class, Lecture Comprehension is a required course for students who take Level 4. Therefore, even though you may have passed your reading and writing for Level 4, you still must pass Lecture Comprehension. If you did not pass this quarter, you must repeat the class in the fall.
