    Method of Consideration for March 13th Assessment

     
    Please go to the Parent Portal and observe the note recorded for the Genetics  Assessment administered March 13th. 
     
     
    The documented note refers to specific questions (#21 and #34) included on the assessment related to content not covered during instruction delivery. It was decided, if the students answered the question(s), points were added to the overall grade to reflect a BONUS. 
     
    If students answered correctly one of the questions, 3 points were added or both questions, 6 points were added. 
     
    Those questions were not calculated in the overall number of questions graded. 
     
    The note associated with the grade indicates the specific question(s) answered correctly. 
     
     
     
    Respectfully,
