Miscellaneous
Notes:
- Any C, D or F on ANY TEST this year
is eligible for CORRECTIONS, which will bring the grade up one full
grade level and a minimum of 15 points! It is, therefore,
impossible to fail a test in English if you are willing to put in the
effort! Corrections must be made on a separate sheet of paper and
must be signed by a parent. They are always due at the end of the
week the test is returned.
