Retakes

What are retakes?

• In each class, students take one or two assessments for each learning target. Sometimes, additional assessments will be given to collect additional evidence.

• Once students have completed their last required assessment for a learning target, a grade will be entered into the grade book under the final learning target grade, The final learning target grades are the only grades that impact students' academic grade. 

• Once you have your grade for a learning target, you can decide to attempt a retake assessment if you are not satisfied with your grade. Retake assessments are optional. 

• A retake is not the same assessment taken over. It is a different assessment that will test the same learning target knowledge.

To retake an assessment you MUST do all of the following things:

• Complete any additional practice work you were assigned for a retake. Usually, it is called a "Relearning Assignment" Ask your teacher questions if anything is confusing!

• Fix any mistakes you made on your last assessment. Write out your corrections on paper using a grading pen or send me a document with the corrections.

• For math retakes, the date, time, and required work will be posted to Schoology. 

Retakes are not usually given for open-note tests.
