On Thursday, May 21st; Sunday, May 24th, Monday, May 25th, and Tuesday, May 26th you have the opportunity to come in before school (7:30), during lunch or during your FLEX to complete a Statistics Extra Credit Assignment.

During E, F, G, H, and A Blocks you will go to Ms. Aschenbrenner's room to work. **Note: on May 21st, you must see Mr. Santowski** During C and D Blocks you will go to Mr. Santowski's room to work. During B Block you will go to Ms. Rappe's room to work. This is an individual assignment. You cannot bring work into the classroom or leave with any work. The assignment should only take one block to complete but you can work on it multiple times within those four days.

If you turn it in, it will be graded (for better or worse). You can decide after you start working on the assignment whether you want to turn it in or not. You can decide whether it counts as a Quiz or an Assignment grade.
