Revisions/Retakes

The retake, redo, revision policy and procedure is only applicable for students in grades 6-8. For students in grades K-5, elementary teachers, in alignment with student needs and mastery of content, will determine what reteaching and additional assessments may be provided. The purpose of redo/retake/revisions in grades 6-8 is for students to demonstrate mastery of content. 

In grades 6-8, if a student earns less than their desired score on a major grade only, he/she may request a retake/redo/revision one time per quarter. If a student would like to request a retake/redo/revision on a major grade only, the student will have 5 school days from the date the grade was posted in Backpack to request a retake/redo/revision by means of communication with the classroom teacher. The following redo/retake/revision steps must be followed:

1. Within 5 school days of a major grade being posted, student requests redo/retake/revision through means of communication with the classroom teacher.

2. Teacher communicates to student the activity or activities that are required to be completed prior to the redo/retake/revision being completed.

3. Student completes required activity or activities and receives approval from teacher to redo/retake/revise major grade. 

4. Students complete the redo/retake/revision of the major grade within 5 days of teacher approval. 

5. Higher of the two grades is posted in Backpack.
