Central Magnet School will celebrate GIS Day with a StoryMap Showcase. The Intro to GIS class will publish and share a gallery featuring StoryMaps students make as part of RomoGIS's GIS for Good program.

- A Note About Skyward: If an assignment is marked "missing," that simply means I haven't entered the grade. No need to contact me about it. If it is a zero, but not "missing," that means I did not receive your work, and you should contact me.
