Grades for Quarter 4

All grades will be final once I have 20 Grades in SIS.
Currently, we have about 10 grades. Which means I
am halfway done with grades for this year. Make the

most off the assignments that you get. I am not

giving extra credit assignments!

PM3 is on May 2nd

PM3 is the LAST Test for the year!

The test does matter so make sure you take it seriously.

This test will determine what classes you are in next year.

If you have Advanced classes now but you final the test you will be moved to regular/

intensive classes.

If you have Regular classes now is the time to show you are capable of advance classes

so you can get out of intensive classes.

Drill & Practice

We will be doing more drill and practice these next couple of

weeks. We will look at your data to remind you of how you scored
on your PM1 and PM2. The things that you need to work on is
what you will receive a homework packet for next week. This

information is to help you so you need to take it seriously. If you
learn and understand the information now it will be easier for you

next year.
