Promotion Requirements Please note that 6th grade math must be passed both semesters for promotion to 7th grade. If one semester is passed but not the other, summer school will be required for promotion.

Reteach/Retake Policy

Students must attend scheduled reteach/retake sessions which will be posted on teacher websites when each unit test is given. Students must attend the reteach in order to retake a test.

Tutoring Day

All HW and CW is complete for that unit

Attend reteach before school

Team 21 •Technology- Wiki spaces to build online portfolios, tiers that include technology

• Collaboration-Labs/projects with team input, each individual will always have their own score

•Creative Thinking- Open ended questions, inquiry/discovery before lesson, thinking “outside the box,” understanding why vs memorizing

• Integrating subjects-some projects will include more than 1 subject
