back. Any student who does not want to wait around for their comment sheet can get it from Mr. McCullough on Monday.
I will do my best to be in each room, but as you can see from the schedule things are very tight and they DO NOT always run on time. I will do what I can. If you would rather me NOT be in the room let me know!
