Your child’s grades are influenced by class work, homework, and common course assessments. We ensure that our students are prepared for nationally-normed, or standardized, tests by introducing students to the format and time constraint early in their high school experience. Common course assessments, as we call them, are ACT-style exams that students take every five weeks. All common course assessments consist of four parts: a reading passage with comprehension questions, vocabulary assessment items, course content assessment items, and a free-response, or essay prompt. Our teachers have been trained in writing ACT-style questions and  prompts that assess your child’s learning.

I would like to direct you to the Steinmetz website, which you can access at www.steinmetzac.com, and the Parent Portal.  The website includes events and announcements on the homepage and links to the faculty pages. I’d like you to access the websites of your child’s teachers for information about homework, exams, and special projects. The Parent Portal shows real time information about your child’s attendances and grades, in a password and PIN protected site. 

Remember: we are partners in your child's education.
