The Week of September 24th in Miss Trefonas's Class

Dear Parents,
Your child has taken their first social studies test. It has been graded and returned. I am requiring all tests to be signed and returned, so I can be assured that all parents have their child's results. Many grades were lower than I had anticipated. Please contact me if you have concerns that you feel we need to discuss.
