To those few students who, as instructed, saw me after the English exam today, thank you.

To those who failed to do so: today's test will be administered tomorrow, after school in room 312. Expect to be present between 2:40 and 3:30. This is the ONLY time this will be offered - unless you are sick tomorrow. Please make arrangements to be there tomorrow. Sports are not an excuse.

Thank you,
