• Test Envelopes- Please sign and return the tests and the envelope to school ASAP! Tests envelopes will be sent home upon completion of Unit tests.
• MMS/Parent Portal
• MMS/Parent Portal can be found via the Battlin’ Miner website
• Report Cards- at the end of each marking period
• Progress Reports
• Only utilized for D or F grades
• Sent home Mid-Marking Period- So parents are aware of the low grade and students would have time left to bring up their grades
• Parent / Teacher Conferences- November- Not a scheduled time (previous years)
• Informal Methods (Ex: phone call)
• Weight: All tests in third grade carry an equal weight.
• Make-up Tests:
• Short Absences: If the test was announced the day before a student was absent, the student is expected to take the test either the day he/she returns or the next day.
• Extended Absences: Discussions between the teacher and the parents will determine when the student is ready for the test(s).
• Academic Dishonesty:

• Anyone observed cheating will receive an automatic zero on that assessment.
