8. Formative Assessment
Daily assessments are used to determine students’ progress toward mastery of learning targets.
Formative assessments do not count toward the report card grade.

9. Re-Teaching
Students learn at different rates. Our goal as teachers is to make sure that each student masters the skills, even if it takes more than one assessment.
69% or lower on summative assessment: Teacher Directed Reassessment Students are required to attend a re-teach session and re-take.

10. a) If a student scores an 87% or above on a summative assessment, they are not eligible for a retake. They have shown they understand the content substantially and can move onto the next unit.
b) If a student scores between a 70%-86% on a summative, they are eligible for a retake, but the highest they can score on the new summative is an 86%. Optional retakes must be initiated by the student and follow the teacher’s directions for completing a re-teaching session and scheduling the new assessment. Only one retake per summative will be allowed.
Reteach/Retest con’t.

11. Projects & Essays
Students will receive teacher feedback throughout the drafting process regarding necessary revisions.
Students are expected to incorporate the revisions into their final projects and essays. Therefore, final products that earn a grade 70 or above are not eligible for retakes.
