Assessment Administration

Required Assessments

All internal and external assessments are mandatory, including the AP and SAT Exams. All scholars are assessed with the SA assessment scope for their grade level, regardless of their academic standing or any demographic or other designations or classifications.

Absences

Scholars who miss an assessment due to an excused absence must make it up upon their return to school within a maximum time frame of two weeks. Scholars who miss an assessment due to an unexcused absence cannot make it up.

• If scholars miss an assessment due to an unexcused absence, they will receive a 0 (recorded in the gradebook as UA).

External assessment makeups may be limited due to New York State and College Board-established scheduling and policies.

Lateness

Scholars who miss an assessment due to being too late to school cannot make it up.

• Scholars are considered too late to take an assessment once the proctor has started reading the directions.

• If scholars miss an assessment due to being too late, they will receive a 0 (recorded in the gradebook as M).

Retakes

All high school scholars will be able to take retakes for their Trimester 3 Final Assessments. At the end of the trimester, the higher of the two assessment grades will be incorporated into the course grade.
