5. Retest/Reteach Policy
 If a student scores 69 or below on a test, the student has the
opportunity to Retest.
 The highest grade possible on a retest is a 70, so if the student
scores higher, the maximum grade recorded in the gradebook will
be a 70.
 Tutorials are highly recommended before the date of the retest.
 A Test Correction Sheet &/or a review sheet will be provided and
needs to be completed with work shown. This Test Correction
Sheet/Review will serve as a ticket into the retesting classroom.
 Algebra I – Days and Times will be determined by teachers
 Algebra II - The opportunity to retest will be arranged with the
teacher and student within a 2 week time period. The teacher will
administer the retest at a time determined by the teacher and
communicated to the student.
 When a major grade is impacted due to academic honesty, the
student is not eligible for retesting opportunity
