Here is the link to my calendar for the rest of the school year. I have posted the review units we will study and when each test will be. You may use this information to help your child prepare for each unit test. I will send home study guides which will greatly resemble the tests. I will print the calendar and send it home just in case you cannot access it.

If you are interested please email Mrs. Freitas at lfreitas@neusecharterschool.org and provide contact information.
