Good Luck Studying! • Dictionaries will be available for your use. • Bring pencils, a eraser, and a pencil sharpener carried in a CLEAR zip lock baggie. • Remember to wear your FULL AGS UNIFORM, or you will not be allowed to write the exam. NO AGS sweaters will be allowed in the classrooms, so wear a long-sleeved undershirt if necessary. • Any phones or electronic devices should remain home or in your backpack outside of the classroom. If found on your person, it will be considered a cheating tool. • Cheating is unacceptable. Students attempting to do so will obtain a zero on the exam. Studying is a great way to avoid this temptation • See you on Wednesday, June 18th@ 11:00 am in the Gymnasium!
