AP Test Payment

A Ho, J Wong & H Yu. Your names are on the list of students that didn't pay. Verify you have documentation of payment and make sure you clear it up after break.

TP Drop Videos

I have good TP Drop videos from:

1st period: D Yi & D Yim
3rd period K Lim & an epic video from B Yee. I wish there was video explaining what you were doing to your parents.

Make sure I get your organizer that you used to explain the situation to your parent.

3rd period L Fong. Your heights are wrong and you move the roll before qued to drop. Ask someone for help with the calculation and resubmit the video. I suggest helping your Mom with chores so she won't get annoyed at you.
