and will be announced beforehand. Some chapters will include a mid-chapter test. Quizzes may or may not be announced.

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.

•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
