Honors Students:
Retake Policy: Honors students may choose only one major assessment per nine weeks to retake for a maximum score of 60. Students who retest must take the test within two weeks from the time the grade is posted or distributed to students (unless an alternate arrangement is made with the teacher). Teachers may require certain assignments be completed or students to attend tutoring prior to retaking the test. Teachers may create a test which is different from the original. The format of the test is solely in the discretion of the teacher.
Late Work: Honors students cannot turn in homework late. A zero will be entered for late homework. Honors students will receive a 10-point penalty per school day (whether A or B day) for late major assessments such as projects or papers. No late work will be accepted after grades are submitted for storage in PowerSchool.
Country Bellringer & Map Quizzes:
Country Bellringer & Map Quizzes:
Everyday you will have two countries on the board that you will look up basic information about. These country bellringers also coincide with our map quizzes. Map quizzes will focus on a particular continent/region and will be given every two weeks (typically on Fridays) unless otherwise stated. Dates will be written on the front whiteboard well in advance. These map quizzes will help with your spatial knowledge of the world as well as help you connect the dots on certain historical events and world issues that we will discuss in class. Seterra practice links will be posted in your Google Classroom approximately a week and a half before the quiz (however, they can be found below as well).
