7th grade students received a quiz back today.  Ask them about it.  There are 2 grades on the quiz because it assessed 2 standards.  Students who scored a 2 or 1 on it are encouraged to make corrections on it.  Students who scored a 3 should see me about opportunities to exceed the standard.  Have a happy weekend!
