Reminder: Testing Data Assessment
- We complete a data assessment so they know which concepts they are struggling with so they know what they need to study to prepare for the End of Course Exam.
- They are allowed to do test corrections to bring up their test grade. This can only be completed during my tutorials.

Please help me to ensure that your students finish off strong. We are working hard together to make sure your teens get their homework in. I know they are getting to the point where they are ready for a break! We are all ready! Please help me to make sure they get everything in before the break. Once the semester ends, they will no longer be able to turn in work from this six weeks. I need you to keep on them!! Thank you for all of your help!!! :)
