Happy Sunday and I hope this finds you well, rested and ready for the final quarter of freshman year. As a reminder, state testing begins next week April 1 ( no fooling) and runs through the week of April 15. We will have a modified schedule for testing days. On Monday and Wednesday, students will see periods 1,3 and 5; 2hour class blocks, and will test writing and reading in their English class, and math in their normal math class. Tuesday and Thursdays will be periods 2,4 and 6. Fridays students will be on a normal Friday class schedule. If at all possible, it is important to be here on those testing days to avoid being pulled out for makeups.
Biology is still a state AIMS test and that test will be completed in Biology class times on April 3 and 4th. As we finish up the year, it is not too late to get grades up from 3rd 9 weeks and finish strongly. We will be covering/completing genetics and then Change over time and finally optional dissection in May- more details to follow!!!
