Schedule for Week of 03 February

ALL STUDENTS IN ALL THREE BANDS MUST BRING THEIR LANGUAGE AND COMPOSITION TEXTBOOK TO CLASS EVERYDAY THIS WEEK. IF YOU COME TO CLASS WITHOUT IT, YOU WILL RECEIVE A "0" AS A HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT-NO EXCUSES-NO EXCEPTIONS-NO NOTES FROM PARENTS...

AS OF APPROXIMATELY 1300 HOURS ON SATURDAY, 1 FEBRUARY-I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A REPORT INDICATING YOUR RESULTS ON THE ENGLISH REGENTS EXAMINATION-I AM QUITE CERTAIN THAT EVERYONE DID WELL. ONCE I RECEIVE THE RESULTS, PROBABLY EARLY MONDAY MORNING, I WILL IMMEDIATELY POST THE SCORES ON JUPITER.

SAT VOCABULARY QUIZ FOR LIST 14 WILL BE ADMINISTERED ON THURSDAY, 06 FEBRUARY.

A RHETORICAL QUESTION FOR EVERYONE: WHY ARE YOU REQUIRED TO SIGN THE statement printed at the bottom of the front of the answer sheet, indicating that you had no unlawful knowledge of the questions or answers prior to the examination and that
you have neither given nor received assistance in answering any of the questions
during the examination (
taken directly from page 1 of the NYS Regents examination booklet)?


WHAT STANDS OUT FOR DIEDRICH IS THE PHRASE "neither given nor received assistance"... HE WANTS EVERYONE TO PONDER WHAT THIS MEANS...AND THE SUBSEQUENT CONSEQUENCES FOR THOSE WHO ARE GUILTY OF COMMITTING THESE ACTIONS. (You will sign a similar statement on your upcoming AP Examination.)
