Homework

Test Rewrites:
Students in 7R may complete test rewrites in math, social studies, science, and ELA. If the student earns below a 65 on a test, the student may complete a test rewrite. For a test rewrite, the student will rewrite each incorrect question, with its correct answer, five times (you may not type your test rewrite). If completed correctly, the student will receive a 65 in place of their prior failing grade.
