RETAKE/REDO PROCEDURE
Philosophy: The purpose of allowing students to “redo” major assessments is to:
-
Help students achieve content proficiency (80%).
-
Encourages students in meeting proficiency the first time.
-
Provide teachers with feedback on student learning.
1.Students will have one week from the return of the assessment to redo major assessments (tests, quizzes, and projects).
-
Students will receive a grade no higher than 80% on the redo.
-
An assessment can only be redone one time.
-
Individual teachers will oversee the reassessment steps procedurally with their own students.
-
Students are encouraged to take responsibility in communicating with teachers about retake opportunities within a timely manner and monitoring their grades via Powerschool.
