31 January - 4 February 2011 The new semester – it’s like the reset button on a video game. And in honor of the new semester, Wednesday is a two-hour early dismissal day, so check the schedule below. And if you have a student who is contemplating the SAT, the Seattle Public Library practice test could be a great diagnostic – spaces are limited, see below and so scamper off to register.
