Important announcement about TEST DAY!
This year Schoolcraft college did not have room for all of our students to test.
We have secured an alternate site.
PLYMOUTH students taking AP English Language, Microeconomics and Macroeconomics will be testing at the Plymouth Arts and Recreation Center (PARC)--formerly known as Central Middle School in the gymnasium. ONLY those tests. All other tests are still at Schoolcraft.
Testing arrival times are the same we are just at a different location.
AGAIN---PLYMOUTH students only. Only AP Lang and Micro and Macro!!!!!

*****Remember, your journal is a place for you to practice your best writing. Work out your issues here. If you tend to be wordy, revise to eliminate wordiness. If you struggle with concise word choice, revise to improve. Do you tend to be too vague or general? Spend time here identifying where you have gone wrong and improve it. Progress comes from hard work and self-discipline. The best way to improve your timed impromptu scores is by thinking through your writing when time is not limited.
