You simply will need to complete the materials within this Schoology course, and finish by passing the 10-question multiple choice test. These materials must be completed by Friday, January 29th.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES
A Message from Your Mr. and Ms. Howard!
As the first semester is coming to an end, finish it strong! I know that the finals can be stressful; take your time to prep in advance and ask Howard staff for assistance. I enjoyed reading inspirational quotes a few times a week; I recommend you do the same! One of the quotes that caught my eyes was, "Life is the most difficult exam; many people fail because they try to copy others, not realizing that everyone has a different question paper," and this was impactful. I hope you can apply this quote to your life and see how you can pass the exam in your life! I wish you guys the best of luck with taking finals and other adversities you are facing at this moment.
Kind regards,
Janae Smith-Williams
Ms. Howard
Hi students,
As this marking period comes to a close and finals come ever closer, keep your head up! I know it is very stressful right now but you got this! Keep your head up and keep pushing; no one decides your fate besides you! I believe in you!
