During our class last night, we reviewed immunity and made a plan to complete section 4 via a virtual class to be recorded Wednesday eve.
Our last test is scheduled for Monday, 5/5.

We spent a fair amount of time discussing the test.
If you have  further questions, please contact me

This test can not under any circumstances be made up.
If you are absent, I am required to record the test grade as a zero.     

Please be mindful of the due dates for your Pearson assignments.
As soon as the last due date passes, I will be able to add your  total Pearson points to the grade book. 

If you would like assistance with any of this information, 
please feel free to contact me via text or email.
