Quizzes/Tests:

Tests will be administered following the end of each chapter or unit.


Students will be notified three days in advance that a test will be taking place, as well as the date on which it
will be administered.
If a chapter or unit is extensive, quizzes will be administered throughout the chapter or unit in an effort to
promote coordinated study as well as mastery of skill.
A summative test will take place at the conclusion of the lesson, using quizzes as review.

Homework:

Students will have written and/or study assignments every night.


The homework, as well as special reminders, is provided on the board daily so that students have ample
time to copy it.
Homework will be counted towards a grade, unless otherwise specified.
Late homework, projects, or assignments will not be accepted, unless an extenuating circumstance has
occurred.
A missing homework form will be completed for all missed homework.
Three consecutive missed homework assignments will result in a phone call home.
Forgetting books is not a circumstance as we strive to have students learn responsibility.

Students who are absent are responsible for the work they have missed.
Missed homework is to be completed within two days of returning to school.
Tests and quizzes will be made-up the day the student returns.
Arrangements can be made for students who have consecutive absences due to extenuating
circumstances. Once lessons have been made-up, a student will then be expected to take a
make-up test for any assessments that they may have missed.
Tests and quizzes will be returned to be reviewed and signed by a parent/guardian once all
students have taken the test or quiz.
