Redo/Retake Policy

Redo/Retake Policy

Greer Middle School is implementing a Redo/Retake Plan as a strategy to help ensure the mastery of content for our students and encourage our students to have a growth mindset regarding their academic work. Mastery is considered 80 percent or higher. Our guidelines for a redo/retake plan have been designed with input from teachers, administrators, parents, and students to ensure consistent implementation school-wide. 

When are students allowed to redo/retake?  

• Only assignments that are categorized as major grades in the gradebook are available for redo/retake. 

• Purposely evading or refusing to do work are exceptions to the redo/retake policy. Refusal to complete work may result in disciplinary actions. 

Redo/Retake Information 

• The student, parent, and teacher must sign Redo/Retake Request Form 

• The student must submit the Redo/Retake Request Form within three (3) school days of the grades being posted in Backpack. 

• The higher of the two grades will be recorded in the Gradebook. 

• Redo/Retake assessments will cover the same standards, but the format and questions will be determined by the teacher. Alternative assignments may be required at the teacher’s discretion. 

• Purposely evading or refusing to do work are exceptions to the late work expectation allowance. These situations may be treated as behavioral and follow up  with school support staff.

Redo/Retake Steps 

• The student must complete and submit the Redo/Retake Request Form (found under Student tab on Greer Middle Website) within three (3) school days of the grades being posted in Backpack. 

• Students must complete the Relearning Tasks assigned by their teacher on the Redo/Retake Request Form by the deadline given by the teacher.

• If a student will be retaking a test, they must take it at the pre-arranged date/time; if a student will be redoing an assignment that is not a test, they must turn it in by the redo deadline. 

• If students miss the deadline and/or pre-arranged date/time, the redo/retake will not be allowed. If there are extenuating circumstances, contact the grade-level administrator.
