11/22 Matter Test ***Students who do not pass the test will take a relearn/review class for two days and retake the test on 11/30 to achieve a better score*. Students who pass the first time will be in science enrichment classes for these two days.
* Please note that students who score above but would like to retake the test for a higher score may do so for an average of their two test scores. This will be done through REAL time and must be arranged with me before it can take place.
