Warm Ups: Students should enter class and immediately begin working on the warm up activity found on the board. Students are responsible for keeping up with these questions, as they may be relevant to current or future tasks and may be used for quizzes throughout the semester.

Assessments: Test,quizzes and graded assignments will be given throughout the year to assess current progress of the skills mastered.

Unit Repair: In an effort to aid in student mastery, each UGHS student will have the opportunity to participate in Unit Repair if he/she makes a 69 or lower on a unit assessment (as defined by the teacher). In order to receive this opportunity, the student must communicate with the teacher to receive instructions. Students will be required to complete coursework as defined by the teacher to show a greater understanding of the material to reassess. The student has 2 weeks from the date the graded test is returned to complete the practice work and take the reassessment. Students will receive an average score of the first and second assessment for their final assessment grade. All Unit Repair for 9th Grade students is mandatory. Ninth graders will receive an additional handout regarding Unit Repair
