PUT YOUR PHONE ON THE BACK TABLE UNTIL EVERYONE HAS COMPLETED THEIR EXAM.  IF YOU HAVE A PHONE ON YOU DURING THE EXAM, IT WILL BE TAKEN UP AND WILL GO TO THE OFFICE.  IF YOU USE YOUR PHONE FOR ANY REASON OR IN ANY WAY WHILE THE EXAM IS GOING ON, IT WILL BE TAKEN AND YOU WILL RECEIVE A ZERO ON THE EXAM.


TODAY ...

Students will complete the Beowulf test - it is multiple choice and all answer choices must be recorded on your answer document.  DO NOT WRITE ON THE TEST.

If you need to retake the test, the retake will be available on Wednesday, October 5 during advisory and after school.  The retake will be a series of short essays - so be aware it will not be the same as the test you are taking today but will concern the same material.

You also need to check your grades online - if you still have a * for the College Application Essay (which is a major grade) or for the Timed Write (which was a quiz grade), you have until tomorrow to get those to me or they will go in as zeros for the 6 week progress report (and eligibility check).  Students missing the timed write will have one final chance to make it up in class tomorrow, Friday, September 30.
