Please read the following information:
• Our Judaism test will be on Tuesday. A study guide was given last week. Students should also study the questions, Jewish holidays and rituals, and their learning log notes. There will not be time to do a make-up for the Judaism test therefore students must do their best on this test.
• Students who earned a D or U on the Islam test may make test corrections on Thursday, May 20 during their lunch period. Students wishing to make the test corrections must get a parent signature on their test. The highest grade you may earn is a C- or 70%.
