EXAMS and other important information!

The end of the semester is quickly approaching and that means EXAMS!! Eighth graders will have cumulative exams in all core classes next week. Many teachers have already given out study guides and talked to students about what they should be doing to prepare themselves for these important exams. Exams can greatly impact a semester grade (positively or negatively) so all students should be studying for these.

How will this impact my grade?

• English I and Algebra I classes will take an exam that will count as a test grade, included in their Quarter 2 Average.
• All other classes will have an exam that will count 20% of their semester average.

Exam Schedule:
Wednesday, January 15-Core 1 and Core 2 Exams
Thursday, January 16-Core 3 and Core 4 Exams
