end of second quarter extra credit opportunity

The Performance Series tests will be the last "big" assessments that will go in to the grade book before the quarter ends. I like to finish the quarter with an opportunity for the students to earn some extra credit, so here it is. 

When taking the Reading Performance Series test: if a student scored on or below grade level on the beginning of the year test, and is able to improve their Lexile score by 100 points, then they will earn extra credit; if a student score above grade level on the beginning of the year test, and is able to improve their Lexile score by 50 points, then they will earn extra credit. 

When taking the Language Arts Performance Series test: compared to the beginning of the year Scaled Score, if a student scores 50 points higher on this middle of the year test, then they will earn extra credit.
