Clarification: Grade Recovery Policy
Dear Parents and Students,
It has come to my attention that I need to clarify our policy regarding grade recovery (aka redoing an assignment for a better grade). This is a combination of GMS, 7th Grade ELA, and my own personal policies.
As stated in my syllabus:
“Grade recovery will be permitted on summative assessments only. The purpose of grade recovery is to give the student an additional opportunity to show that he/she has mastered the standards of the course. The following rules will apply for this process. To be eligible to take the retest, students must complete a process of remediation, including but not limited to Saturday School, before and/or after-school tutoring, test analysis, or on-line remediation. The method of remediation will be determined by your teachers. Only one retest is permitted per summative assessment. The retest will not be the same as the original.”
In addition, beginning the 2nd quarter grading period, the final summative grade will be the better of the 2 grades (the original and the retake), with a maximum final summative grade of 90%.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
