Let's Talk Exams!
High School Information:
All classes will have an exam that counts 25% of the overall grade.
Teacher-Made Exams
During the week of December 7th, all non-EOC high school courses will have a teacher-made exam. Teacher-mades will count as 25% of a students' overall grade as well. Teachers have the flexibility to use various formats for their exams (projects, presentations, multiple-choice tests, etc). Students will receive information from teachers concerning their teacher-made exam. Remote students will not need to report to RECHS on a specific day to test for teacher-mades. (Please note, some classes might require students to report to school to submit projects.)
For the week of December 7th-11th (teacher-made exam week), we will follow a normal Monday/Tuesday 'AA Day' schedule, Wednesday remote instruction, and Thursday/Friday 'BB Day' schedule.
End-of-Course Tests
Students in Math I, Biology, English II and Math III will participate in an End-of-Course exam (EOCs). EOCs will be given during the week of December 14th-18th. We will follow an alternate schedule this week, as we will test on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Friday (12/18) will be a make-up exam day. We will test based upon subject. Please see the schedule below.
All remote students in Math I, Biology, English II and Math III must report to RECHS in-person for their End-of-Course exams. Remote students will report to school based upon their assigned day in the email they received from Mrs. Grosch. All remote students received a call/email allowing them to request transportation and/or lunch for the EOC exam week.
Students who DO NOT have EOCs will be on remote learning during the December 14-18th exam week and will not report to RECHS.
College Information:
Students will also have exams in their college classes. The last day of college classes is December 14th. Instructors will communicate with students concerning exam expectations.
