I apologize for the delay since my last posting. We have been working in class reviewing for the AP test and then spending a couple days decompressing and celebrating the completion of the test last week.

Today all students were given a "Grade Improvement Opportunity" which stated what work they would need to complete in order to improve their grade by one letter grade. The plans were individualized for each student. The handouts necessary to complete the work are posted below. If parents or students have questions, please contact me asap. All work must be completed by the last day of class.

* The last unit test is this Thursday covering periods 5 and 6 *
