Policies, Requirements, Standards

Health

1. TESTS will be administered periodically. Normally,

this will be at the conclusion of each chapter or subject

area covered in class. Tests may include multiple choice,

true-false. matching, short answer, & essay questions.

2. QUIZZES may be announced ahead of time, but this is not

the rule. Not lengthy, quizzes are used as a check on

reading or homework assignments. They should always serve

as motivation for daily study and preparation.

3. IN CASE OF ABSENCE FROM CLASS, it is the student's

responsibility to see their teacher upon their return to

school regarding assignments, etc. Students will have to

get the class notes from someone else in the class.

IF YOU ARE ABSENT THE DAY OF A TEST but were in class the

meeting day previous to the test day, you are expected to

take the test in class on the day of your return. If you

are absent on the meeting day previous to the test day, you

must take the test one day after you return, AFTER school

or during class time if feasible.

4. NOTEBOOKS are to be brought to class daily. All

students must maintain a neat, single-subject notebook.

Notebooks will be graded on neatness and completeness.
