include a mid-chapter test. Quizzes may or may

Quiz Corrections
Students receiving a grade lower than 80% have the
opportunity to improve their quiz/test scores, by submitting
quiz corrections to potentially earn ½ point back per missed
question. Additionally, students must staple their original
test to the back of the quiz corrections.
Absent/Missing Work
• It is the student’s responsibility to check on
any work that was missed during an
absence.
• Students will have the same number of days
as they work absent to complete the work,
otherwise it will be considered late .
• Any quizzes missed during an absence must
be made up within a week of returning to
school
*Late work will be accepted for partial credit
