5. Assessments/Quizzes • Assessments are given at the end of each chapter and are weighted twice. • Quizzes are also known as “Check My Progress” and are given throughout a chapter. Quizzes are only weighted one time. • The purpose of assessing is to determine student strengths and areas for growth. From there, we can develop activities or lessons to challenge or support your child.
