Please be advised that if you were absent on Friday, 8 February for The Timed Write on Question #3-you will be given a "different" prompt than the one your classmates were given. This is only fair-why should you have additional time to prepare? Furthermore, you MUST report to 37.5 minutes on Monday and/or on Tuesday to complete this Timed Write. You must also present an absentee note to take this assessment.

ATTENTION STUDENTS who completed the Timed Write on the Singer Solution, click on this link to review the student samples provided by the college board. Sample papers scoring an 8, 6, and 4 are provided-which response is "similar" to how you responded?

Recall, how many times I have indicated that students have TWO SCHOOL DAYS upon their return to make-up a SAT Vocabulary Quiz? Believe it OR not several students have neglected to do this-and regrettably- these students will not be permitted to make up previous missed quizzes during 37.5 minutes! You have had ample time to complete this obligation. I find it curious that the same students are consistently absent on these days.

Amazingly, two students in an unnamed Band completed the Timed Write in approximately half the allocated time and began to engaged in nonsensical behavior, distracting those students who were striving to earn an 8 or a 9. These students actually received a comment on their report card indicating that their conduct needed to be improved! I wonder why their parents have yet to contact me? Soon, I will contact their homes...
