(no emails) Additionally, please call and let the school know that your child is absent. • We suggest parents pick up any make up work if possible.

  10. HOMEWORK, QUIZZES AND TESTS FOR ALL SCIENCE STUDENTS • Homework and Daily work are worth 60% of your student’s grade. Students are able to redo homework or quizzes for a better grade. These papers will be returned in the Tuesday folder and will be expected to be corrected and returned by Thursday. I do not give homework every night. Most homework is a result of not finishing classwork or to study for tests and quizzes. • Tests, Quizzes and Projects are worth 40% of your student’s grade. If your child makes below a 70% on a test, they are able to correct all their mistakes for up to a 70%. These tests should be signed and must be corrected on separate paper showing all work. Students will have 2 days to correct these tests. • I remind students to write down quiz, test and assignment due dates in their agenda books. Ask to look at this each day.

  11. TUTORING AND EXTRA HELP • Teachers will be available on Tuesdays from 3:00 to 3:30 for students who need extra help starting Monday, September 15th. • Prime Time • After benchmark tests, I may invite a few students to spend additional time for some specific help with past and upcoming TEKS.
