IF IT SNOWS…

·         And school is cancelled on Wednesday, the Algebra exam will be administered on FRIDAY. Testers in the am, non-testers in the pm as we’ve done all week. In that case, Friday will NOT be a normal day of school.

·         And school is delayed on Wednesday, the Algebra exam will be administered on WEDNESDAY BEGINNING WHEN WE COME IN. Students will still get breakfast but we will not break for lunch. Extra snacks will be available after testing. Please note that this might mean students are in school from 10-1:30, for example, rather than 8-11:30.

And if there is not much school and City Schools are open…we will see you on time for testing tomorrow, Wednesday, January 12. Students, please be here, on time. Next week is Exhibitions and make-up testing will make YOUR life more difficult than it has to be!!
