Relearning/Retesting

For each learning target for which you did not achieve 70% mastery on the unit exam, complete the following steps (if you scored higher then 70% you may also retake the LT):

  1. Re-read your notes and powerpoints for the learning targets you need to complete
  2. Locate the learning targets you need to complete in the remediation document, copy and paste the assignment into another google doc (share w/Pelzel) or hand write and turn in to Pelzel.
  3. Complete the corresponding remediation/reteaching assignment.
  4. After your remediation has been turned into and verified by Ms. Pelzel, you will get a test code. You can retest on retesting days, before/after school, and during advisement.
  5. Go to Exam Login and take the re-quiz. It is timed and you only have 1 shot, so make sure you're ready!
