Change to Reassessment Policy

During Back to School Night, I told all of you who attended that should a 
student score less than 75% on any assessment they will be allowed to re-take 
it one time.  I sought guidance from my peers and supervisors for a way to 
make sure that this grading policy is fair, equitable, and most importantly 
available to all students.  Based upon these discussions and their 
recommendations, the following modification will be made.
 
     Beginning with the 2nd marking period, all students will have the 
opportunity to improve their grades as well as mastery of the lessons.  Prior 
to the students being allowed to re-take the test, they will be required to 
complete an activity (worksheet, extra help, etc.) that focuses on their 
individual area of need.  Once the student completes the activity and all 
questions have been answered, they will be allowed to retest.  The final 
grade will be an average of the two assessments.  For example, Student “A” 
earns a 65 on an assessment.  After the reassessment, their score is 95.  The 
scores will be combined, then averaged.  As a result, 80 will be their final 
score.

This was sent home with your children on November 16, 2009.  If you have 
any questions regarding this change or any other matter, please contact me.  
Thank you again for your continued support.
