Grading INformation

Reassessing

• Students will still receive a score for each standard in the gradebook and not an overall class grade. Multiple opportunities to demonstrate understanding of classroom standards will still be provided to students through the process of reassessing. Reassessment practices and initiation may look a little different in each classroom based on the specific needs in the class/subject area. Below you will find a description of how reassessment will be handled for each subject area.  

  • Students will have the opportunity to reassess frequently. 

  • A parent signature will be required on the first assessment to allow for reassessing. A parent signature is to ensure students have spent time studying outside of class.

  • If a student has not reassessed within 2 weeks of the original assessment date, their first assessment score will remain as is in the gradebook.

• Math, Reading, and Social Studies: Reassessments will be on Thursdays during Wildcat Time. Students will be notified multiple days in advance, and a parent signature will be required on the test to indicate the parent is aware that their child spent additional time outside of class preparing for the reassessment.  If students miss the reassessment date or forget a parent signature, it will be their responsibility to schedule a make-up reassessment.

• Science: In Science, reassessments will be given on a scheduled date and will happen during class time.  Students will be notified multiple days in advance, and a parent signature will be required on the test to indicate the parent is aware that their child spent additional time outside of class preparing for the reassessment.   If students miss the reassessment date or forget a parent signature, it will be their responsibility to schedule a make-up reassessment, during Academic Support in Room 115 (see weekly announcements for ASC dates/times).  Students will need to communicate with Mrs. Friedrich the date they would like to reassess during ASC so she can send the test to Room 115 on the appropriate date.  

• Writing: In writing, Mrs. Osborn will hold individual conferences with each student, sharing comments and feedback on their published writing piece. After an individual conference, students will have TWO WEEKS to make revisions.  Students can work on revisions independently outside of class, ASC in Room 115 (please see weekly announcements for ASC dates/times), or a day will be provided IN CLASS if needed for students to receive additional support from Mrs. Osborn. They will be responsible for communicating with Mrs. Osborn when all revisions are made. After the two-week point, Mrs. Osborn will regrade their revised published writing piece.
