Dear Parents,
This is a reminder that the ELA Mid term is scheduled for Jan. 20 and Religion Mid term for Jan. 21. The ElA Exam will consist of two sections: the first on Module 1 and the second on Model 2. EACH section will have 10 questions on vocabulary, 5 in Grammar, and an essay based on a reading passage. The second grade will do the same for Domain 1 and Domain 2. I am sending home all quizzes to be reviewed thoroughly. I RETURNED ALL THE QUIZZES THAT WERE RETURNED TO ME. IF TESTS WERE LOST OR IF STUDENT WAS ABSENT FOR A CERTAIN QUIZ, THEY MUST STUDY WITH A CLASSMATE OR MAKE A COPY OF THE QUIZ.
