PSSA's

The PSSA's are running from Tuesday, March 25th - Tuesday, April 1st.  We will have several days of review this week for the math content.

Open Ended Response

Due to the timing of the PSSA's, we do not have enough time for a multiple choice benchmark for the third nine weeks.  However, we will still have an open ended response.  This will be assigned on Wednesday and due Thursday if not completed in class.  It will count for four points (graded with a rubric).
