There are four types of assignments for students in grades 3-12.

For most courses, tests are taken in Ignitia.

Assignment weighting depends on if a unit contains a project, a test, or both.

When taking a test, students should:

Complete the test in one sitting.

Ensure their computer has a strong internet connection and is fully charged.

Be in an environment free from noise and distraction.

Avoid being tired, hungry, etc.

While working on lessons, students can take hand-written notes, which can then be referenced while taking quizzes and tests. Other resources available to students, such as websites, should NOT be used while taking quizzes and tests.

Students are given two attempts on unit tests. A second attempt is automatically granted if the first attempt receives a score below 60%. Note that the solutions and per-question scores will not be available until after the student has submitted the second attempt. The score from the second attempt will be recorded, unless the teacher approves the use of the higher score.

If a student scores below 70% after the second attempt, the teacher may, at their discretion, allow the student to submit test corrections or take an alternate version of the test. These should be sent via message in Ignitia or Canvas, and eligible scores may be raised up to a maximum of 73%

Students are not allowed to submit corrections or request a second attempt on tests from previously completed units, unless given explicit permission from the teacher. Teachers reserve the right to decline correction or alternate test requests. Reasons may include, but are not limited to:

Not spending sufficient time on the second attempt.

Refusing to submit corrections in the proper manner.

Refusing to put forth the time or effort needed to earn a higher score.
