The following students' grades were already corrected, so there's no need to contact me: Anton Camaj, Giancarlo Pena, Lillianne Bornstein, Morgen Senior, Angel Guzman, and Prettystar Lopez. If you're on the list below, your score may been affected by a few points. Please take a picture of your Scantron and email it to me at [email protected] so I can adjust if necessary.

I'm adding 1 point to Class Participation for the third marking period for all of the students who participated.
Students who didn't participate will not be penalized. Students who participated multiple times received additional fractional points. -Mr. S Hi students- I mistakenly told a few of you that there was Tuesday tutoring tomorrow.
