Planner Errors for February:

Page 92 – My School Plan for the Week:

Cross out “Wednesday is Y Day” and “Friday: Term 2 Marks Cut-Off”

Page 92 – Monday, February 20 should be a collaboration (AM) schedule. TA starts at 9:30 am

Page 93 – Wednesday, February 22 is not Y day – the block order is BCDEF

Page 94 – “MARCH” is actually “FEBRUARY”
