The Waves unit test retake will be offered tomorrow during class.  Students interested in the retake were given a study guide in order to prepare.  To take the test, they will need to bring the study guide with them to class and it needs to be signed by a parent as evidence that parents are aware that the student will be retaking the test and have helped ensure that students have studied and prepared.  The score on the retake will replace the original score.
