Midterm and Final Exam:
ALL students are required to take a midterm and a final exam in Algebra and Geometry. The midterm exam will be administered at the end of the 2nd quarter. The final exam will be given during the final week of school. Each exam will count as two test grades during the quarter in which it is administered. |
