Attention!!! New Test/Quiz Corrections Policy:
All students are now welcome to submit test/quiz corrections **after progress reports for the third and fourth qaurters**- regardless of the grades earned on those assessments. Test corrections must now be accompanied by __an explanation__ (at least one sentence long), telling me why the actual answer is correct. The explanation must be meaningful, for example, "The book says this is the correct answer" would not be an acceptable explanation unless it was a spelling mistake. Students who earned __below a 70C must have a parent/guardian sign the corrections__.
