HOMEWORK: If your child has a 1, they should be working on retest packets.

ASSESSMENT RETAKE PROCEDURES EXPLAINED: While the retake procedures may seem a bit intensive, our ultimate goal is for ALL students to reach mastery of all standards. We give them enough additional learning opportunities through the packet to be able to go back through all of the material covered in class (even though in class we did A LOT more than what you will find in the packet). ALL students with 1's on an assessment need to complete the retake packet. Please let me know if you have questions.

*More specific plans/worksheets are uploaded to Canvas.

If you have any questions regarding science classes, please email Mrs. Frey robin.frey@boone.kyschools.us.
