Parents
Parents,
I am so thrilled to get to know your students this year!
If your child is in my English 2 Honors class, they will be taking the English 2 EOC. Our EOC has two parts: reading and writing. Both test will be taken at the end of the semester. Writing will be first. The composite score of these two tests will make up 20% of your child's final grade for my class. Their grade breakdown is as follows: Quarter 1 = 40%. Quarter 2 = 40%. EOC = 20%.
Please refer to your child's class to locate assessment calendar, instructions to join Remind, and my syllabus. Refer to "Weekly Lesson Plans" to check your child's daily schedule.
