Today we took the first part of the EOCT, which is a test madated by the state of Georgia. If you were absent, you will have to make it up. Tomorrow we are taking the second half of the test.

We went to look at Room 504 so that everyone can find it on Monday and Tuesday. It is the room we have been assigned for EOCT testing. If you were absent, here are directions:
Starting on the Trojan Head in Skylight hall, facing the gym, walk down the ramp, past the Senior lockers - as if you were headed to the Cafeteria. Go PAST the hall that takes you to the cafeteria (on left) and school store (on right). Go to the next hall on the right - this is the last hall before you get to the Gym Hall doors. Go up the steps, and 504 is at the end of this short hall. It is Mr. Mitchell's room.
We took the Book Test. If you were absent, you need to come in before school or during lunch to make it up.
Remember that the EOCT is a very important state mandated test. We are required to count it as 15% of your grade. Please get a good night of sleep on Sunday and Monday. Eat before you come to class, as there is no food and drink permitted in this classroom or during testing. Please use the restroom before class; you are not supposed to leave the room during testing. Leave your cell phone at home or in your locker. Take the test seriously and do your best. :)
Remember Book Projects are due Wednesday, May 13th. Your Media Center books are due back to the Media Center on this day.
Journals were collected at the beginning of the period. If you were absent, be sure to turn yours in.
We took a practice EOCT test. If you were absent, you do not need to make it up.
Tomorrow is the Book Test. You need paper and a pencil or pen. Book Projects are due Wednesday, May 13th.
The EOCT test is Monday, May 11th and Monday, May 12th in Room 504. Please be prompt for class. No eating or drinking, no cell phones, no materials with you at the computer.
