Greer Middle School Redo/Retake Policy
Effective: 1/15/2020
Greer Middle School is implementing a Redo/Retake Plan as a strategy to help ensure the mastery of content for our students and encourage our students to have a growth mindset regarding their academic work. Our guidelines for a redo/retake plan have been designed with input from teachers, administrators, parents, and students to ensure consistent implementation school-wide.
When are students allowed to redo/retake?
- Only assignments that are categorized as major grades in the gradebook are available for redo/retake.
Redo/Retake Information
- The student, parent, and teacher must sign Redo/Retake Request Form
- The student must submit the Redo/Retake Request Form within three (3) school days of the grades being posted in Backpack.
- The higher of the two grades will be recorded in the Gradebook.
- Redo/Retake assessments will cover the same standards, but the format and questions will be determined by the teacher. Alternative assignments may be required at the teacher’s discretion.
Redo/Retake Steps
- The student must complete and submit the Redo/Retake Request Form (found under Student tab on Greer Middle Website) within three (3) school days of the grades being posted in Backpack.
- Students must complete the Relearning Tasks assigned by their teacher on the Redo/Retake Request Form by the deadline given by the teacher.
- If the student will be retaking a test, they must take it at the pre-arranged date/time; if the student will be redoing an assignment that is not a test, they must turn it in by the redo deadline.
- If students miss the deadline and/or pre-arranged date/time, the redo/retake will not be allowed. If there are extenuating circumstances, contact the grade-level administrator.
