I called everyone who needs to retake their EOC yesterday.  I was impressed by my scores!  Good job everyone!  Feel free to email me at benedictjl@rss.k12.nc.us if you have any questions.

If you will be retaking the EOC, you should go to my school notes webpage and download the Total EOC revie that I put on there.  I will help you improve your score.  Also, feel free to come and review with me Monday 11:30 to 1 or Tuesday 11:30 to 1.  

I haven’t finished calculating the final grades, but should have that done in the next few days.

Hope all is going well getting ready for the EOC.  Let me know if you have any questions!
