Retake Policy
Good morning,
Today the Map Quiz was passed back and many of you would benefit from a retake of that test. As a class, we put the following information in our planner:
Retake Policy:
Step One: Make corrections to original test/quiz/project
Step Two: Schedule an appointment (before or after school) with Miss Bryant for the retake
Step Three: Bring the corrected original to your retake appointment
Step Four: Retake the exam/project
Things to remember:
1. The higher of the two scores will be the final score
2. Schedule your appointment at least one day in advance, and no retakes on Fridays
3. If the retake deadline passes and you have not scheduled an appointment or talked to Miss Bryant the original score will remain
Deadline for the Map Quiz retake = October 14th
Please Note: As of 11:21am there are only 2 grades entered in the SS grade and one is a test, if your student did not pass the test they are not passing the class (according to gradebook), but please don't fret, they can retake the quiz, and as more assignments and projects are added grades will go up)
