At the middle and high school level, one test may not be weighted more than 20% of the student's final grade. High School finals are mandatory, but may not be weighted more than 10% of the final grade. All students will have multiple opportunities to demonstrate their progress and proficiency towards what they are learning. Tests are to be used to determine what students are mastering and what help they need in order to excel. One single assessment grade shall not significantly alter a student's final grade due to weighting. 

Extra credit or bonus points for non-academic purposes will not be used. For example, bringing classroom supplies, while appreciated, will not be part of a student's academic grade. If students are not making progress towards mastering skills and concepts, teachers may provide additional assignments and activities that will help the student improve their grade.
