January 5 is the last day to hand in late or revised work for this term, unless you have made special arrangements with the teacher.
Students whose grade is at an "F" may hand in the research project (November-December Book of Month and Works Cited) and book test (Book-of-Month Test) by Friday.
No more make-up tests will be given unless you've already arranged that with me.
