Assessments

Summative

• These are assessments that test what the students have learned at the end of a skill, lesson, or unit.

Formative

• These are assessments that determine the students' understanding of a concept as we progress through a skill, lesson, or unit.

Homework

Homework is necessary for reinforcement of skills taught in class. Parents are important in making this successful. It is helpful for your child to have a consistent place and time to complete homework. Homework should be checked by a parent/guardian for completion, and planners signed nightly. All homework is expected to be completed neatly and turned in on time. All teachers will have assignments posted on their websites via Google Calendar.

The following steps will be followed if home work is not completed on time:

• Students are held accountable for all homework in each of their classes.

• First day of a missed assignment: The first missing assignment is a warning and the student will be given a 24-hour grace period to turn it in. Per school policy, the student will receive a 10% grade reduction on the assignment.

• Second day of a missed assignment: Student may attend the Lunch Learning Lab to complete the assignment.

• Students will continue to attend the Lunch Learning Lab until the assignment is completed.

• Parents will be contacted via e-mail or phone if homework completion becomes a concern.

• Work that is sloppy and/or difficult to read will be returned, and work is expected to be fixed.

• Incentives will be awarded to students who consistently turn in homework on time.

Parent Information

• Check your child’s assignments and sign planners nightly.

• Midterm grade notifications are made available through Skyward Parent Access halfway through each trimester. Please check the on-line grade book frequently.

• Please call or email the appropriate content area teacher if you have any questions regarding your child’s performance.

• Student work will be returned via Wednesday Folders each week (with some exceptions). It is your child's responsibility to show you the work and return the folder on Thursday. Please sign it every week so that we know you have had a chance to see the work.

• If a student receives a low grade (D or F) on a quiz or test, the student must obtain a parent/guardian signature, and return it to school with the Wednesday Folder.
