  • Few Summative Assessments – 2 to 3 per cycle over entire units.
  • Assessment Corrections – Done on a sheet of paper, before allowed to take a retake exam
  • Assessment Retakes – Corrections are mandatory. Will be new questions, fewer questions, covering same material.

 

 

 

Interactive Notebooks:

  • Daily Notes Accountability
      • Looked at the end of every 6-weeks; when checked taken as a test grade

Retakes:

  • Assessments:
    • Less than 70%
    • Corrections mandatory the day after graded test is given back.
    • Retakes will be allowed during a one-week window, after the graded assessment is given back.  The retakes will not always be in the same format as original test. 

(i.e. number of problems, essay format, open response questions)

    • Retakes given only during student’s lunch tutorials ( no exception)
  • Homework/Pop-Quizzes/Schedule Quizzes:
    • May be redone for up to a 70%.
  • Daily Assignments (assignments given in class are due during that class period)
    • These assignments are not allowed to be redone unless absent or Teacher’s digression. (student negligence, not participating, is not a purpose for redoing an assignment)

 

Late Assignments:

  • One Day Late Policy – All Homework assignments that are not turned in on time must be turned in within the two-day period following the original due date of the missing assignment.

 

Absences:

In the case of an excused absence, the student is allowed One make-up day for each excused absence day. Student is responsible for all missed work.

 

Failed Test:

A Notice of Concern will be sent home in the event the student fails a test which represents 55% (regular) or 60% (pre-AP) of their overall 6-week grade. 

Ways to Succeed in Technology:

  • Students must complete the daily warm up. Warm ups are designed to be a review of previously learned concepts or a lead in to the current days lesson.
  • Students must take notes on new material and write examples of problems worked in class. Notes are a good tool to use when completing Independent Work or as a source for studying for exams.
  • Complete ALL homework assignments
  • Attend tutorials to build skills and confidence in Technology, as well as to get additional help
  • Always show your work; Participate in class; Respect teacher and classmates
