2. Retake policy*: 1. A retake is offered for any assessment lower than 70%. 2. The grade you get on a retake is the final grade. If the retake grade is lower than the original grade, the retake grade is still entered into the grade-book. 3. Retakes must be taken before or after school or during your resource block. It is your responsibility to schedule the retake with SeñoraQuintero. This can be done in class or via email. It is your responsibility to get a pass from SeñoraQuintero to come for your retake. 4. The retake must be completed in one sitting- meaning you can’t start it and then come back another time to finish it. This is the procedure for all tests and quizzes. 5. The retake must be done within 2 weeks of the original assessment. This is important, because the further away from the instruction you get, the less you remember. After the two week deadline, retakes will not be allowed. 6. You must have all homework assignments turned in for the unit before retaking an assessment. Homework is independent practice that helps you learn and practice the vocabulary and grammar expected on the assessment. Without completing all homework assignments, you are not ready for an assessment. *Please note that this policy does not apply to county-wide assessments such as midterm, final, and PALS/CPAs.
