Spelling List

This Friday, August 21st will be our first-chance spelling test. We will have the final test on these words on August 28th.  Here's how I record grades for this process....
  • I will record ALL scores on the first test.
  • If the first test score is an 85 or above you are exempt from the second test, but can choose to retest if you would like.
  • At the time of the second test I will keep the grade that is the higher of the two scores.
  • In the event that you are absent on the second test, your first test score will stand.  If you have a planned Friday absence and are unhappy with the first test score I will gladly give you a test the Thursday before during library time. 
  • If you are absent on the first test, there are no make-ups, you will just take the second test.
Hopefully this helps you understand our routine.  Spelling make-up tests are difficult to fit in and this process will help tremendously.  I suggest studying hard for the first week...if you always pass the first test...you only have spelling every-other week. :)
