Quizzes are formative assessments to measure students’ learning progression toward mastery.
Students who are absent on the day a quiz is given must schedule with their teacher a time to make up the quiz before returning to the class in which the quiz was given. Students who are absent from the class period before a quiz is given, but present for the class period in which the quiz is given, may or may not, at the teacher’s discretion, be required to take the quiz alongside everyone else. The determination is made, in large part, on whether new material that was introduced during the previous class is prevalent on the quiz. Quizzes may be scheduled and taken early, with the teacher’s approval, if the student knows he or she will be absent on the day of the quiz.
In general, students need to coordinate with their teacher(s) to determine a time and location to make-up a missed quiz. Ultimately, teachers will determine when and where quizzes will be made up. Failure to make-up a quiz according to the teacher’s expectations will result in an academic consequence.
