How Can I monitor My Student's Progress before they take a test or quiz?
Homework checks are given throughout a unit to determine student progress with each new lesson. These mini-quizzes are graded for accuracy. They are only worth 10% of the students overall grade but will tell you and your student if they are understanding the material being taught. If your student is unhappy with their homework check grade then they should be reviewing what they got wrong and/or get help immediately. Homework is only graded for completeness, so homework checks give you a better idea of their actual understanding of the material.

Can my student re-take any assessments?
Students are allowed one test retake per trimester. In order to be able to retake a test your student must do test corrections in a different color and get them corrected by Mrs. Neal. Lastly, the original test must be signed by a parent. No quiz retakes are given.
How does my student get help?
Mrs. Neal is available any day before school for extra help. Mrs. Neal can also help students after school most days as long as you let her know ahead of time :)
There are also TONS of online resources for help. Several links are posted on the home page. Searching the topic you are struggling with on YouTube is also a good option!
