Give it your best - only 2 REAL weeks left

We're down to the home stretch - only 2 weeks remaining to get the grades up; last day to recover is 12/3. TALK to your teachers!!!! It's amazing what has been and can be accomplished by simply communicating.

Use the new link on the right, GA Milestones EOC Practice, to experience the new EOC format and content.  Click on the ELA - llth Literature link to do a practice test.

6 weeks left!!!
Give this your best effort...
If you do not have a passing grade in a course, talk to your teacher.  ASK for credit recovery, extra credit, make-up work; in other words, do what it takes to get yourself a passing grade.  Let your teacher see you are endeavoring to make an effort.  See Ms. Carman or myself for extra help or direction in how to proceed.

Extra EOCT practice is being offered by many teachers on Saturdays.   ESOL 11th lit will be offered on an upcoming Saturday.  See me or the M2 edition online to get dates and times.

Research projects:

The basics of research are applicable to every grade/level; higher leveled/grade classes will apply intermediate to advanced research skills.
