In order for Woodmont Middle School staff to support students in their learning, the evaluation of completed work partnered with feedback for growth is essential. This process is layered with communication, differentiation, as well as timeliness. In order for students, even in the event of a known absence, to have access to this feedback, the work they complete needs to be returned to the teacher in a timely manner. The following criteria will outline Woodmont Middle School’s philosophy as it pertains to late and/or missing work:
The late work procedures are intended to support students who have been absent from school, not students who were present but have failed to meet a deadline for turning in work.
The late work procedures may not be applicable to students who have failed to complete any classwork during time provided by the teacher. In other words, if a teacher provides time for students to do something in class and he/she chooses not to do that work believing they will do it later, the teacher does not have to extend the late work procedures to them. It should be communicated home that late work will not be accepted in this situation.
Work assigned is expected to be completed by the assigned date due.
It remains the responsibility of the student to turn in work even if late.
Classwork will become homework if attempted but not completed during the class period. That work is due the next day’s class meeting. If turned in during or before the next class meeting, the student will receive credit for the learning shown.
Any work not turned in will be calculated as a zero in the gradebook.
Teachers will handle unique situations on a case-by-case basis, and have the autonomy to determine whether they will accept work beyond the due date.
Make-up Work from Absences
All work missed during any absence will initially be reported as Missing Due To Absence and recorded as a zero. The work must be completed and returned to the teacher within five (5) school days from the date of return to school. Once the assignment is turned in, the grade will be changed to reflect the actual grade earned. Teachers are expected to update missing work within five (5) school days.
Students are responsible to get makeup work from their teacher(s). This can be done in advance of a known absence.
Provisions to make up school work missed during extended absences can be worked out with the teacher(s)/team concerned.
Woodmont Middle School Redo/Retake Procedures
Learning is a process. We recognize that not all students learn at the same pace and that while mastery of skills or standards remains the primary goal for all students they require additional attempts in order to achieve success. The following criteria will outline Woodmont Middle School’s philosophy as it pertains to Redo’s and Retake’s:
Redo’s/Retake’s will apply towards major grades only. Major grades could include labs, tests, and projects. Any major grade that cannot be replicated should have an alternative assignment available at the same value. If a student is provided an open-note test or allowed to use something such as a completed study guide as a resource a Redo/Retake should not be necessary.
Students enrolled in a high school credit course may retake a major assessment only when the original score is below 60% (failing).
Students will have the opportunity for one (1) Redo or Retake per major grade.
Students will be expected to initiate the process for Redo/Retake within 5 days of the grade posting in the gradebook. Teachers/teams will utilize a universal Google Form request to initiate the process and will communicate their individualized Redo/Retake opportunity to students and parents
Prior to retaking an assessment, students must: participate in teacher-directed remediation or relearning activities, which may include completing and turning in any uncompleted assignments that were due during the unit.
The highest score earned for the assessment will be recorded in the gradebook.
