Reminder about our Re-Do Policy
Please remember that your student brings home graded work in the Wednesday folder each week. Please review that work and encourage your child to correct and return any work that received a grade below 79. Your child is also schedule a time with his/er teacher to correct tests.
From the Student Handbook
Re-do/Re-test Policy (Grades 4-5)
We encourage students to use feedback provided by grades by reflecting on their mistakes
and using it to improve their understanding of concepts being assessed. Please understand
that the re-do/re-test option is not a free pass for students not to study or to turn in carelessly
completed work. In order for a student to have this opportunity, they must do something to
show the teacher that they are committed to improving their performance. This might include
additional time with the teacher, extra practice assignments, or making corrections on
previously completed work. A student may earn up to a 79% on a re-test or re-do of an
assignment. Students may not redo daily grades for which they received a zero.
Daily Grades
1. Students who receive a 79% or lower on a daily assignment will have one opportunity to
re-do an equivalent assignment, as determined by the teacher, for a maximum grade of
79%. Students may not re-do assignments for which they received a zero due to not
completing or turning it in.
2. Students must initiate the process to re-do an assignment. Emailed requests from
parents to re-do an assignment will not be accepted. Handwritten parent notes presented
to the teacher by the student will be accepted in Grades 2-5. The ultimate goal is to
create learners who are able to be effective self-advocates.
3. Students must complete the “re-do” assignment in the calendar week after the
failing grade was earned. (For example, whether a student earns a failing grade on
Tuesday or Friday, they must complete the re-test by the end of the following week. This
is the case, even in the event of “short” weeks containing fewer than 5 days.)
4. Assignments may be given as a home assignment or redone at school. The teacher will
determine which option is most appropriate for each assignment.
5. A student may earn up to a 79% on their re-do of the assignment.
6. A student may not earn a grade lower than the original grade.
