    2. Purpose To promote optimal learning opportunities for all students

    3. Rationale Research indicates that students learn in different ways and at various rates. Reteaching and retesting are beneficial to all stakeholders: students are held more accountable for learning; parents understand their child is given an opportunity to improve; and teachers ensure students master the content. Students also acquire the skills to be successful in the next grade level’s courses.

    4. Policy ?A student will be allowed to retest within 10 days of receiving his/her test grade. Eligibility requirements must be met. ?Students must be given the opportunity to retest on major/unit tests provided by the teacher. Any student may retest, and all teachers of a particular subject offer reteaching/retesting. ?Students may not retest on Common Term Assessments. Student Handbook and Policy IHA
