Nothing new to report, except...

HSA testing has been a typically disasterous week. While the state does not really offer much leeway to the school into how and when it must be done, surely the school can do better than the following:

1. On Monday, students took the HSA from 8-12, then reported to their afternoon classes.

2. On Monday afternoon, an announcement was made during regular afternoon announcements - alongside such announcements as "Congratulations to the badminton girls", and without informing staff, teachers, or students - that the next day, students may just go home after they take their HSA. This was in direct contrast to everything that had been stated previously.

3. On Tuesday, there was no way for teachers to know which students took the HSA, so it was a free for all. Not good news when there are two more HSAs this week and the prep time was needed - not to mention the time before finals.

Of course, Mr. Invisible was nowhere to be found in any of the mess.
