3. Late Work or Missing Work?
4. What does PHEOC stand for?
5. What is this MAPs testing that my students are taking at school? Why are they doing it three times during the school year?
Can my child make corrections to low scores?
All corrected work from the previous week will be sent home in
the Friday Folder each Friday. There are two exceptions to this policy.
Any test that is handed back for a parent signature is due the following day.
In math, any quiz or test needs to be made up in class the following day, the test was given back.
Anything in the Friday Folder that has less than a 70% on it can
be corrected.
The highest possible score that they can correct it for is up to
a 70%.
However, the corrections must be made by the following Tuesday
after the Friday Folder goes home. Also, it is the students responsibility
to make corrections on the assignments that require them and also make
sure they are turned in by the following Tuesday.
Back to Top Absent Work?
Students will be given their absent work that they need to make
up when theyreturn to school. They will be given two days to make it up for
each day they were absent. It will be their responsibility to make sure
that their absent work is completed and turned in on time.
Back to Top Late Work or Missing Work?
If an assignment is not completed within the given time, the
student will be asked to fill out a blue slip. This means that they lose their
lunch recess privilege until the work has been completed. Blue slips will be
tallied throughout the week, the total will be written in the student's
Friday Folder.
Back to Top What does PHEOC stand for?
PHEOC is the scientific method we use in Science when writing our
labs. The "P" stands for Problem, "H" is for Hypothesis, "E"
represents Experiment, "O" stands for the Observation part of the
lab, and "C" is for Conclusion.
Back to Top What is this MAPs testing that my students are taking at school? Why are they doing it three times during the school year?
MAPs stand for Measures of Academic Progress. The test is done
on a computer, all multiple choice questions, to show a student's
individual knowledge in the fields of mathematics, reading, and
language arts.
MAPs shows a student's individual growth based off what other
students have done in the country taking the test, and how they
have improved from year to year. The test also lets teachers use
the data to develop individual learning paths for us to take that
will be successful for each student.
The district has also purchased a program for the computers
called Compass. This takes the scores of the students and also
develops a series of online activities and quizzes for each
student to use to help improve their score. Students can access this site at home and work on the activities.
We take the test at the beginning of the year, after winter
break, and then in the spring. The spring is where we can see if
a student made the growth they needed to or not.
