My office hours are at lunch only on Wednesday, so don't count on me being here after school. You can try, but better to come at lunch.

First, I collected parent signatures. We reviewed homework, I collected assignments 45. In 2nd period we had an opportunity to retake benchmarks 1-7. 4th period took the practice final. 2nd period will take the practice final on Wednesday.
Reminder:
The deadline for benchmark re-takes is June 1st. That's this Wednesday. I will be in my room Tuesday at lunch and after school, and then lunch on Wednesday. I don't have office hours after school on Wednesday, so don't count on me being there.
Have a nice 3-day weekend.
