*****This week, we will be taking the "Explore" test in homeroom....We will take this test on Thursday. This test will be able to help students identify areas of interests, areas of weakness, and areas of strengths. These tests results will be used to help us prepare for the LEAP test and will help guide students through their high school curriculum. Please make sure students are at school on Thursday!
