Students are also responsible for emailing the teacher regarding late or missing homework done for grading.

Hard Deadline - always two (2) weeks from the original due date

Any assigned work will be closed and inaccessible past the hard deadline. This includes assessment (quiz or test) retakes.

Testing Protocols

Quizzes and tests are done in person during class.
It is expected that students finish these assessments in one sitting.
Students are expected to show their complete and organized work on a separate piece of paper (to be used as a reference for corrections).
Personal electronic devices (phones, earbuds, etc.) are not allowed during assessments. The assessment will automatically be zero if the teacher sees the student with these devices for whatever reason.

Retake Policies & Protocols

Students are allowed one (1) retake opportunity for each assessment they wish to improve their grade on. They are given two (2) weeks from the day of the assessment to retake or improve their score. If they missed the assessment, they have one (1) week to make it up before it is graded as zero.
IMPORTANT: Fill out the online Scheduling Form (found on the banner of this webpage or a link in MathXL) AT LEAST one (1) day BEFORE the desired retake date to give the teacher ample time to adjust the settings from MathXL.
Below are the requirements and policies for retakes:

must have at least 85% or better on ALL lesson practice of topics covered by the assessment
answer ALL questions and must have 85% or better on the assigned retake review at least A DAY BEFORE the scheduled retake
