    Test Retake Policy


    Students may retake a test for credit on each question incorrect which will
    be added to their final test score. Students will receive their test scores after
    taking the tests, but they will not receive their tests back until all retakes are
    complete. Students will be given 48 hours from the retrieval of their test

    scores to reschedule and retake their test. Retakes may be scheduled before
    school or during recess. No retakes will be given during class time. All
    students will receive their tests back after all students have completed their
    retakes. Students receiving a C or below will need to have a parent or
    guardian signature.
    Class Cash
    Students will have the opportunity to receive points (aka class cash) for
    different classroom activities throughout the year. These points can be
    redeemable for different items such as homework passes, extensions, and
    other rewards. {See attached guidelines for more details}
    Classroom Expectations
    All students are expected to treat one another and their teacher
    with respect and dignity.
    Treat others as you would want to be treated.
    There will be a zero tolerance policy for any behavior
    inappropriate within the classroom.
    Be on time and prepared for the day, each and every day.
    Keep track of your own responsibilities and be accountable for
    yourself.
