Academic Achievement
Academic Achievement
"Academic Achievement" assessments reflect what you know and understand. There are two "Academic Achievement" categories; assessments (quizzes and tests at 60%) and projects (at 30%). All 7th graders have the same "Academic Achievement" assignments no matter what team they are on.

Having a score below a 70% on an academic achievement activity means that you do not understand the material at the expected proficiency level "yet" and should keep trying. Students may improve grades by completing a "Retake Request Form." After completing the form to the teacher's level of satisfaction, you will be given a retake assessment or project. All students are capable of achieving with hard work and perseverance. Never give up and keep trying!

Academic Skills
Academic Skills
"Academic Skills" assignments make up the remaining 10% of your grade. "Academic Skills" include warm-ups, notes, and any tasks you complete that help you learn or develop a growth mindset. "Academic Skills" assignments do not usually qualify for retakes and may vary between 7th-grade science teachers.
