In pursuit of giving students the opportunity to demonstrate mastery in accordance with a growth mindset, Riverside Middle School has set forth the following redo/retake policy:
● Students or their guardians may request one opportunity to redo each major grade. Students/parents must submit their request for a redo/retake within one school week of the graded assessment being returned.
● Before an assessment is redone/retaken, students must complete a re-learning opportunity as determined by the teacher and agreed upon through a documented discussion between the teacher, student, and/or guardian.
● The retake score will replace the original score whether or not it is higher than the original score.
● Students may not request a redo/retake on work handed in late.
● Re-learning opportunities may include independent learning tasks, review activities, before or after school tutoring with a teacher, Flex time remediation, or other activities deemed appropriate by the teacher.
● Minor assessments may be redone/retaken at the discretion of the teacher, in order to support learning.
South Carolina statewide access to free real-time tutoring is now available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Both English and Spanish speaking tutors (in select subjects) are available through the Discus Tutor.com subscription provided by the South Carolina State Library.
