I don't know about you, but it is still hard for me to believe that this school year is nearly over. Time is running out and it is very important that you finish strong! In most classes your 3rd quarter grade counts for 40%, your 4th quarter grade counts for 40% and your final exam counts for 20%. Clearly your exams can make a huge difference in your final grade for a course. In addition to completing all of the work assigned for your classes in the school days remaining (4 for seniors and 8 for everyone else), it is also time to be studying for your exams.
For the seniors, a quick, but important reminder... you MUST pass your graduation requirements in order to graduate and to participate in the commencement ceremony! We counted today and there are 39 seniors that are currently failing Senior Comp or Advanced Comp! :-( This does not make me happy. (Fortunately the 39 kids are not all my students.) These senior English classes are just 2 of the many courses required for graduation so please, make sure you do not decide that you are done a week ahead of schedule when every point still matters.
