Week of March 7th

Congratulations to all of you who got your acceptance letters for high school this week. Remember you should take a placement test to go into Geometry or Algebra Honors in 9th Grade. Well done to those who already received a Geometry placement.

Great results from all of you on both tests last week. Those scores will really help your overall average. Special congratulations to Gaby for overall improvement to earn thi week's Student of the Week. Here is this week's work.
