7th Grade Writing CST Study Group

Students and Parents,

Please remember that the 7th grade Writing portion of the CST will be held on March 3rd, during 2nd period. Students are strongly encouraged to attend a study session after school on March 2nd, from 2:00-3:30pm. This session will be used to review writing strategies, forms of writing students could be asked to produce, and cover any last minute questions. Please arrange alternate transportation for your student if they attend. Again, I strongly recommend your student's presence at the Study Group. Please feel free to email me with any questions.

Thank you,

-Mrs. Pack
