How many quizzes do students need to prepare for per week?  

Typically, no more than 2 assessments are given per week.  For each quarter, students are given an OUTLINE OF ASSESSMENTS which is a link on their calendar in mymcps classroom.  The Outline of Assessments provides such information as the type of assessment that will be given, how to study for the assessment and when the assessment will be given.
