TESTS

All tests that are sent home are to be signed by a parent/guardian and must be returned to school by Friday of that week. I will be using the Remind app to text reminders to any parents whose child did not return in their tests.

To promote a growth mindset, students who would like to increase their test score can earn extra credit by correcting the incorrect problems on a separate piece of paper. They can borrow a friend's test or ask a family member to help them learn from their mistakes. The amount of extra credit depends on the amount of effort made in correction. Make-up tests are not available due to time constraints.
