Students in 4th grade will have the opportunity to improve graded assignments and tests with a score lower than 70%. Here are specific details for you and your child:

* Students with a graded assignment or test with a grade below 70% will be given one opportunity to improve their grade following additional re-teaching and review of the skill.

* The original grade and the new grade will be averaged. The updated grade will be recorded in Gradebook online.

* The opportunity to improve their grade will be provided during school. Teachers will allow students time to redo assignments and/or tests during small group instruction, morning work and/or unfinished work time.

* We will have a 1 week window following the graded assignment or test for students to improve their grade.

* Writing compositions will not be included in this opportunity to improve grades. Teachers consistently conference with students about their writing prior to any assignment being turned in for a grade.

* IMPORTANT: Students must be motivated to take advantage of this opportunity. Our teachers will be happy to give students another chance to demonstrate their understanding of standards, but our students must express a desire to improve their grade.

Please reach out to your child’s teacher or our administrative team if you have any additional questions.
