Phonics Test Correction
The Phonics section of the Spelling Test that was sent home on Friday contained an error in grade calculation. The grades were scored out of 12 points when, in fact, there were 14 points possible on the test. I have made the corrections to students' scores on Gradelink, and I apologize for any confusion.
