ELPAC testing

Adrienne, Linda and I have worked the past two weeks at various schools.We ended our week at Hagginwood Elementary.When I took the tests back to the office at the end of the day (to be locked up in a secure place!), three boys were telling the office receptionist about the problem one of them had.
