EOC Retest Letters went home with students last week. Parents, if your child is in Biology, English 2, Math 1 or Math 3 it is very important that this letter is signed and returned as soon as possible. This letter gives your child the right to retest if they are not proficient on their EOC exams and improve their overall grade. A printable copy of this letter is also available on our school Facebook page. Please return your letters to your teachers or at the front desk.
