How can I improve my grade?

First, make sure you are reading your "BOSS",reviewing your spelling, 
vocabulary, and notebooks each night.  Also, do your best home and 
class 
work, as well as asking questions and telling Mrs. 
McEvoy what you don't understand.  Begin test prep the week, not the 
night , 
before.   Schedule  a conference time with me,  so we can review your 
individual needs and abilities.  Most of all PERSEVERE!  Things will 
improve!
