EOC BOOTCAMP: SAVE THE DATES
If your child has Algebra I, American Literature, Biology, or US History, keep on reading! These are EOC (end of course) Assessment Classes!
We are offering EOC bootcamp sessions which will take place at LGHS on November 7, 12, 14, 19, and 21 from 3:15 PM to 4:30 PM.
Teachers in these sessions will work on test-taking skills to help your student pass that EOC!
Their score on the EOC counts as 20% of their final grade so it’s important that your child does their very best on the test.
Use this link to register your student for one (or all!) of the sessions! https://bit.ly/4h30kcU
