Mrs. Churvis’ Blog- Social Studies – Language Arts – APEX

The TCAPs are coming, the TCAPs are coming!  Tuesday to Friday will be the days on which the tests will be given.  I have already spoken to my classes about how to prepare physically and mentally for the tests.  Having plenty of sleep is vital.  Having something to eat in the morning is also essential to feeling good and doing well on the tests.  I know my students pretty well.  They will make their parents, their teachers, and most importantly, themselves proud.  See you Monday!!

PS Dear students,

I got my computer back but Power Grade needs to be reloaded.  In other words I cannot post grades yet.  Some of you may be jumping up and down with pure delight.  I have contacted Mrs. Jarrett and the program will be reinstalled Monday (hopefully). I apologize for the delay in posting grades.
