Miscellaneous Notes:

  • If you have earned three As in a row, you are now EXEMPT from having to show me flash cards. You will receive automatic credit and don't need to bring them to class. If you drop below an A on any future test, you will resume making the cards.

  • Any C, D or F on ANY TEST this year is eligible for CORRECTIONS, which will bring the grade up one full grade level and a minimum of 15 points! It is, therefore, impossible to fail a test in English if you are willing to put in the effort! Corrections must be made on a separate sheet of paper and must be signed by a parent. They are always due one week from the day the test is returned.
