Recovery Program

Extra credit is not offered. Instead, a recovery program helps students learn challenging topics and improve low scores. It applies only to independent work and exams. Students must take responsibility for themselves and follow the program’s procedures.

Redo Policy

If you earn less than 100% on independent work, you may redo only the problems you missed and upload a new scan along with your original scan to earn full credit. If you delete the original scan, you must redo all problems. Redos can be repeated, but you must meet all requirements (see below). It is your responsibility for following the rules.

Retake Policy

Students may retake exams to improve their score, but must meet all requirements. Semester finals and quizzes are excluded. This is a privilege and can be revoked at Mr. Burton’s discretion for reasons such as cheating or wasting the privilege. It is the student’s responsibility to follow all conditions.
