Testing

Major Tests

A major test is one that culminates in a substantial instruction sequence, counts in grade averaging more than a daily grade, and is scheduled at least one day in advance.

In order to avoid students having an excessive number of examinations on one day, the following is the major test schedule for all grade levels:

Odd Calendar Dates:                         
Math, Social Studies, Electives

Even Calendar Dates:
Language Arts, Science

Example: Wednesday, October 16th could have tests given in Science classes and Language Arts classes due to the date being an even numbered day.  Occasionally, alterations to the testing schedule may occur with the approval of administration and notification of grade level teachers.

Quizzes

Short-check tests which count no more than a daily grade and may or may not be announced in advance. Quizzes that are given with prior notice will count as a minor grade.
