Reassessments are not a given, they are earned. Reassessment opportunities are for those students who have completed the original task by the specified due date. If a student does not complete formative assessments (visible documentation of the students learning journey) in class then reassessment is not possible. In cases of prolonged absences, please refer to the CDS handbook.

Should a student not have given authentic effort on the initial assessment, throughout the learning process, or on formative assessments, a conversation with the student, parent, and/or administrator may be scheduled before the school can consider providing a reassessment.

Following a reassessment, the most recent score on a reassessment is what will be entered into PowerSchool. The old score will be included as a comment.

General Policy:

• Reassessments may range from an individual student to the entire class.

• When tasks/assignments are re-assessed, they may be reassessed partially, entirely, or in a different format.

• When reassessment is offered, students will be required to take the following steps to earn a reassessment opportunity.

Step 1: Within 3 school days from the assessment being returned, a student must communicate with their teacher concerning their desire to reassess.

• This communication may be in the form of a mini-conference or a Google Form (see departmental specifics below).

Step 2: Student(s) must create a plan in order to attempt an improvement in proficiency. This must be done collaboratively in a mini-conference or on a Google Form. This may include but is not limited to:

• Re-teaching or re-learning activities

• Correcting or reviewing prior assignments

• Correcting or reviewing the original task or assessment

Step 3: A reassessment date will be determined by the teacher and will likely be no more than 1 week after the mini-conference or form completion. However, this date is at the discretion of the teacher/department.

• The student must have completed the collectively developed plan in order to attempt the reassessment.

• Reassessment will not be possible in the following conditions across all content areas.

  • End-of-course or end of semester exams

  • Final research papers/artist statements

  • Culminating projects/performances at the end of the semester or year

  • Fine Arts public performances

  • AP Portfolio

If a student is going to miss a reassessment date, he/she is responsible for contacting the teacher and office in advance and upon return provide a doctor's note, if necessary. Otherwise, the student may not be allowed the opportunity to reassess.
