Retake/Makeup Policy

Retakes

Students must show evidence of learning/work done in order for the teacher to approve their retake. Please refer to the course syllabus shared by your teacher for further details. 

IB Courses

• Only ONE retake per semester will be offered for a summative assessment

  • BELOW 3 in SL courses

  • BELOW 4 in HL courses

• This is not applicable to mocks or semester exams. 

Makeups

• If a student has an unexcused absence

  • No makeup will be offered

  • An assessment can only receive a grade in the gradebook if the absence was excused within 5 calendar days. 

• If a student has an excused absence

  • Students will need to have an excused absence coded in PowerSchool in order to receive credit; however, the purpose of assessment is to provide feedback. 

  • Students must communicate with their teachers that their absence is excused.

  • It is the student’s responsibility to arrange to make up their work as soon as they are back in school. 

  • If a student fails to show up for the makeup assessment without communicating and getting approval from their teacher, they will not be offered another. 

  • Special consideration will be given to students that have an extended excused absence due to health related issues. If there is a medical issue the school doctor will email out to staff the excused absence. 

No make-ups/retakes will be offered if a pattern of absences and missing work is evident. 

ISS and OSS

Students are required to complete their assignments during ISS or OSS. If they have a scheduled summative assessment, they must contact their teacher to arrange a new date. Failure to communicate with the teacher or to meet the revised deadline will result in a loss of credit for that assessment.
