Elementary Retest/Redo Guidelines

EIA (Local): The District shall permit a student who meets the criteria detailed in the grading guidelines a reasonable opportunity to redo an assignment or retake a test for which the student received a failing grade.

The following criteria should guide retest/redo practices.

• A student may have three opportunities each nine weeks to redo assignments/major grades for which the student earned a grade of 69 or below.
• If the campus weights grades, the three opportunities will include one major and two daily grades.
• If campus does not weight grades, the opportunities will include any three assignments
• The highest grade a student can earn on a “retake or redo” will be a 70. A student may not earn a grade lower than the original grade. After the student completes the assignment again, the average of the two grades will replace the original.
• Prior to retesting/redoing, an intervening action plan should be created (teacher directed). Examples include: re-teaching; tutorials before, during, or after school; study guide taken home; etc.
• All re-do activities for the nine weeks period must be turned in a week before the end of the nine weeks.
• DPMs or Benchmarks are not included in the retest/redo opportunities.
