A reminder to parents that the students will be writing their ELPA (English Language Proficiency Assessment) on Tuesday, January 15th (periods 1,2,4,5) and Wednesday, January 16th (period 1).  As you know, Mrs. Mac and I have focused our attention this semester on preparing the students for this assessment.  The students have one final assignment to complete - a writing craft and mechanics handbook.  By creating the book, they will be reviewing the writing concepts that we've covered this semester.  The book is due on Monday.
