All students and parents are strongly encouraged to sign up for the web-based program for monitoring grades - Home Access Center. Students should check their averages frequently and see their teachers if they become concerned with their academic performance. Recovery is for students who have made a legitimate effort to meet course goals including attending class regularly, attending help sessions or asking for extra help, participating in class, and completing required assignments.
Provision for Improving Grades
Students may initiate recovery on summative assessments or projects when their cumulative average is a 75 or below and they have made a legitimate effort to meet all course requirements including attendance. Attendance is considered a course requirement and unexcused absences may disqualify students for recovery opportunities. Students may be asked to complete recovery work including attending help sessions as a precursor to the recovery assessment. The recovery assessment may be in a different format from the original assessment. So, that students stay focused on the content at hand and don’t become overwhelmed and fall too far behind, they should initiate recovery on a major assessment within 10 days of being informed of the grade on that assessment. After successful completion of the recovery assessment, the teacher may replace the original assessment grade with the recovery assessment grade up to an 80(75 for AP/Honors). A recovery assessment grade that is lower than the original assessment grade will not replace the original assessment grade.
Recovery Process
The raw assessment score plus any earned bonus points will determine placement in one of four possible tiers.
Tier 0- [ 75 + ] Tier 1 - [ 74 - 70 ] Tier 2 - [ 69 - 60 ] Tier- 3 - [ 59 - 0 ]
In order to earn the recovery score of an 75%, students must participate in the recovery process. The recovery process is used to review concepts not mastered. Thus, once the recovery process is complete, your grade will reflect this growth. Please note, the highest grade entered through recovery will be a 75%
