Collecting Papers

If you are absent, please check another my agenda to see what you missed. Missing papers will be put on your desk or in the absent folder.

Tests

• All books and materials are placed in desk.
• All privacy folders are set up before beginning a test.
• You must stay in your seat during a test. If you need something, please raise your hand and ask the teacher.
• Absolutely no talking during a test. If you are caught talking during a test, the test will be collected immediately and you will receive a zero.
• If you have a question during a test, please raise your hand and I will assist you.
• When you are finished, turn your test in the Completed Tests Bin and move your magnet. Put the testing folder back into the drawer or wait for paper collectors to collect them.. You may begin working on another assignment.. You are not allowed to leave your seat all students are done or I have declared that the test time is over.
• I will try to grade your tests within a few days. I will not pass the tests back out until ALL students, including absent students, have finished their tests. Graded tests will be returned home in the testing folder on Fridays
