Preparing for Finals
Final semester testing is fast approaching and students are beginning to prepare. As in the past, students may opt of out some testing for rewards of good grades and good attendance as well as if they met Iowa assessment goals set last spring. However, there have been some changes to the number of tests each student can opt not to take. A student must have 90% in the class, have less than 3 absences and/or tardies, and have less than 5 MIRs to be eligible. The change is that students may only opt out of 2 exams-- so students have to make the choice.
In addition, if a student met his/her Iowa assessment goals last spring, they may choose one test to opt out from--- and the rest of the requirements do not apply to this reward. Students will receive this information during an assembly on Friday as well as being informed of it at the opening day assembly. All attendance concerns must be cleared by December 12.
