We now have only 9 days until the December break followed by 7 days until the week of testing.
It is imperative that students are making the most of these last few weeks in getting their grades up as high as possible. State exam core classes (Math 1, Math 3, Biology, English 10) which have final exam grades that count for 20% have exam prep sessions on Saturdays with food being served. Please e-mail your student’s teacher if more information is needed.
