Grammar Test RETAKE

Students did very poorly on last Friday's Grammar Test. We am offering a makeup opportunity on Tuesday afternoon at 2:50 in my classroom. Students will be able to recover some of the points they lost but not all. This will be the last date possible. Students with schedule conflicts MUST CHECK IN WITH MS. SHARPTON IMMEDIATELY. For those that communicate, it may be possible to retake the test tomorrow during SSR.
