Final Exams
All math exams are given on June 9th in the first session followed by science. 1. Counts - need total count for all classes turned in by Friday the 16th

2. Header Sheets - You can reuse your header sheet, but change the date to reflect the June 9th date appropriately

3. Scales - We will probably need to rescale 6 new exams

4. Teachers will individually responsible for getting exams to itinerant. Lisa will check with Megan Schoppe and get back to us. The student is supposed to bring a sign off form to the teacher.

5. Book collection - you should get the book from seniors on the day of the exam. You should work on getting them from underclassmen after the exam

Between now and the end of the year, we need to go through the list and make sure that they are in the class that we recommended Now is a time to submit a change in a recommendation. This is done by way of a form and a call should be made home to communicate the change of recommendation. Put a dot next to their name to confirm that it is correct Put a question mark next to names that the child does not seem to be placed where your recommendation was (This is not the same as chldren you need to change in terms of your recommendation. If you are going to change your recommendation, do this by way of the form and do not make a mark in the book)
