Thursday was an early release day, therefore classes were shortened. There was also a writing boot camp given during the morning. Because of these factors, students were given the entire class time to work on their exam. Friday classes should expect to spend a comparable amount of time (about an hour) before moving onto other activities.
For the even block classes on Friday, students will do differentiated instruction, either individually using Edgenuity or work with the instructor to review information on which they received the lowest scores. Students should bring tablets to class!
