9 Weeks Testing, Last Day For Make-up/Late Work

The semester is rapidly drawing to a close. 9 weeks testing is underway. The students took the ELA test on Monday and the Texas History test today. Math is tomorrow and Science is on Thursday.

The absolute last day to turn in any make-up or late work for my class is Wednesday 12/14. I will not accept any work after that as I have to turn in my final grades for the 9 weeks and semester. Anything not turned in by the beginning of class on Wednesday will be recorded in the grade book as a 0.

9 Weeks Test Coming Next Tuesday, Time Running Out To Turn In Make-up Work

The 9 weeks is quickly winding down and time is running out to turn in make-up/late work. I will likely have to turn in my final grades Tuesday evening. That means any make-up/late work will have to be turned in to me no later than the beginning of class on Tuesday. Please check your student's grades online and see what, if anything, they are missing and prompt them to get it done and turned in ASAP.

I took the time to tell every student their average and what, if any, assignments they were missing yesterday and today. Students might choose not to make-up their work but they cannot say they were not told what they needed to do in order to raise their grades.

Below you will find instructions for an assignment covering Stephen F. Austin's original land grant and colony. This assignment is optional for students. Students who choose to complete the assignment need to have it turned in to me no later than the beginning of class on Monday. These assignments will be graded and I will replace the student's lowest summative grade with the grade they make on the SFA assignment.

Our 9 weeks exam covering chapters 4-8 will be next Tuesday. We will review on Monday. Please make sure your student is as prepared as possible for all of their exams next week.
