ELA Regents Prep on Tuesday, 8:30-3:00!

If you are taking the ELA Regents on Wednesday, please come see me for ELA Regents prep at some point on Tuesday. If you are taking a Regents exam on Tuesday, stop by before or after your exam. We will not be in our regular classroom because it's being used for exams; I'll post the room number on the door on Tuesday morning.

If you can't make it, here is the handout with all of the tips and tricks that you will need to pass!
