Vocabulary for each lesson will be recorded in their STEM notebooks and tested during Monday's quizzes. Anything in math or science that is started in class but not completed is to be taken home to finish as homework and brought back the next day.

15. Tests and Assessments MAP’s and STAR Science quizzes can be taken twice All curriculum tests can not be taken twice, however intervention lessons or study guides are assigned and make up half of their testing grades.
