Homework
I will give students problems to practice. They will have time in class to work on these problems. If they don't finish the problems in class, they will need to take them home to finish it by the given due date. Students will check their homework at the beginning of the next class or they will complete it on the computer and it will self grade. I will not grade all homework, it is for practice for the quizzes and tests. The skills assigned on IXL and Savvas will go into the gradebook since students can have multiple tries at the assignment. The students will have plenty of time in class to work on their graded Savvas and IXL skills.
Quizzes
There will be a quiz every week. Most quizzes will be on Fridays. These will be graded and go into the gradebook. Students can use their notes and homework on the quiz. Students can only retake a quiz if they failed it. If they retake, their highest score can only be a low D (70% for Algebra 1 and the foundation classes and 60% for Geometry). Students only have one chance to retake a quiz. They cannot retake any quizzes once we have taken that chapter test. Notes and homework are not allowed on the retake. Students had that chance the first time they took the quiz. The retake will have the same types of questions, just different numbers.
In order to retake, a student must complete the following items:
1) Show me their completed notes over the material the quiz is over.
2) Finish the homework assigned associated with the quiz.
3) Make corrections on the quiz they want to retake.
