Make-Up Tests
If a student is absent on the day of a test or graded class work, it is his or her responsibility to make-up the test within two weeks.
Students scoring below 70% on Formative Tests will have the opportunity to demonstrate proficiency by retaking a similar assessment (except Spelling) following reteaching within two weeks.
Make-up and redo tests may be completed before school or at lunch by appointment, or during intervention. Incomplete tests remain at school.
District Benchmarks
Based on California State Essential Standards, VCPUSD has designed a schedule of formative tests to be administered in an online format throughout the trimester. Each test covers one essential standard. A list of these assessments will be posted on our class Haiku page. Lessons and videos to support the standards are posted on the class Haiku page under Ms. Roen’s Student Resources.
Essential Standards
• Based on the California Requirements
• Fewer standards, greater depth
• Preparing students for college and career
• Critical Thinking, Collaboration
• Argumentation, citing the text
• Computer-based assessment
• Constructed Response
• Choose all that apply
• Performance tasks require application and synthesis of skills learned
Lilac SMART Goals
Every trimester the Lilac students and teachers select Reading, Writing, and/or Math goals to help us measure progress and improve instruction. Teachers also pursue technology and professional development goals.
Tested concepts are scaffolded on prior knowledge and vocabulary development, then follow this format: Lesson - check for Understanding - Reteach/Review - PostTest -
Reteach/Review until Proficient
