Apologies

Posted by msjullyyi on November 9, 2006

Hello students.
I need to aplogize for the chaos regarding grades these past couple of days.  You can imagine how insane I feel trying to get this all sorted out. I know this is very nerve racking for you, and I want to make it as painless as possible from here on out.  Additionally, bc of a personal emergency, I wasn’t able to update the website as regularly as I had hoped.  Since the CVHS server won’t let me on at school, I will do my best to update the website as soon as I can, which is usually around 5pm.  Again, thank you for your feedback.  I look forward to teaching you the rest of the year.

Ms. Yi
