Science Department Summative Assessment Retake Policy
For Exams:
Any student who earns a score of 79% or lower on a summative assessment exam has the option to do one retake of that assessment. Upon completion of the retake, a student will receive the higher of the two scores as their grade. In order to take a retake of a summative assessment, the following criteria must be met:
The student has no missing work from the unit.
The student attends one tutoring session to review for the retake.
The student must initiate this process.
For Performance Events:
Any student who earns a score of 79% or lower on a summative assessment performance event has the option to redo the performance event and resubmit it for evaluation. Upon resubmission, a student will receive the higher of the two scores as their grade. In order to redo and resubmit a performance event, the following criteria must be met:
The student must reach out to the teacher for feedback on the initial submission, so they have guidance on how they can improve their work.
The student must resubmit the performance event prior to the completion of the subsequent unit of study. For example, if the performance event is from unit 3, the student must resubmit before the conclusion of unit 4.
