Perfect Attendance Points – Students having perfect attendance each nine weeks will receive two (2) points added to their final average.

50% test

A percentage designated by the Volunteer Math Department in order to maintain fairness and consistency. There will be a major test at the end of each chapter. If a student is unhappy with a test grade, they can re-take the test during after school tutoring.

25% quizzes

Quizzes will be given periodically throughout the 9 weeks to monitor students understanding of the material.
