Dear UpGrade Media Arts Community:
Welcome back and Happy New Year! For the week ending Jan. 5th, 2024, students completed a fraction assessment. In WVS, students are working with their instructors to complete any missing assignments before the end of the semester. Students are also scheduling their final discussion based assessments. In business, students are learning about essential business formulas and how to apply them to real world situations.

Academics:
Students are scheduling time with their WVS teachers to work on assignments or concepts that they find challenging. In civics, students are working on their module 3 final exam. In math, students are working on solving word problems that involve ratios and fractions. In homeroom students are learning about goal setting and overcoming challenges.
Business and Media Integration (Mr. Thompson):
This week, students are learning about essential business formulas such as "net income" and "equity". They are learning how each formula can help determine if a business is successful or failing. Students are determining what is an asset and liability to help understand a company's equity.
CBS 58 (Radio, TV, Podcasting):
