Hi Everyone:

As the school year is ending, I know you have a million and one forms to be filling out and submitting for closing out another year.

This is just a quick reminder to fill out the teacher evaluations and have students fill out the student evaluations for the Collection Process module that you agreed to pilot test.

We appreciate your feedback and your expertise. We will use the information you have provided to make these modules better.

Have a great summer.
John
