Chapter tests will be given at the end of each chapter. There will be approximately12 chapter tests, or 3 per grading quarter. They will be cumulative and therefore focusing long term retention.
There will be approximately 2 quizzes per chapter. They will usually be announced..... but not always.
Homework will be assigned AND collected on a daily basis. View the homework policy here.
Students may retake one (1) chapter test per quarter if and only if they completed all of their homework on time in the chapter covered by the test by the time the original chapter test was administered. Furthermore, to retake a test, the student must complete corrections on the original test prior to the retake.
The grade acquired on the retake will then be averaged with the grade earned on the original test according to this formula: (original score + 2 x new score)/3.
There are no retakes on quizzes or on the cumulative exams taken at the end of the year and at the end of the first semester.
Students will have an assignment to complete every day. Students will often be given time in class to at least start their assignment before going home. Assignments that students cannot finish in class are to be finished for homework. Usually, no homework will be assigned on test days or on holiday weekends or breaks.
The correct answers to all assignment/homework questions will be given in class the next day. Students will then have 1 school day to correct any errors and turn in their work. Corrections must be completed with a red pen.
IMPORTANT: IN FST EACH STUDENTS' HOMEWORK GRADE IS BASED SOLELY ON THE PERCENTAGE OF CORRECT ANSWERS ON EACH ASSIGNMENT. REMEMBER, AFTER WE REVIEW THE ASSIGNMENT IN CLASS, YOU WILL HAVE 24 HOURS TO FIX ANY ERRORS BEFORE TURNING IT IN.
Late assignment will not receive more than half credit.
Parents may request time extensions for their students when unusual circumstances arise.
Students who have any late or missing assignments in a chapter will not be eligible for the test retake.
