Students will be getting their first FA (quiz) back on Wednesday Sept 5th. If you child struggled with this daily assignment, then please spend some time with your child. Your child will be required to complete a CORRECTION FORM for each failed daily assignment. The form must be signed by a parent showing that the parent is aware of the failed grade.
The highest grade that can be recorded for a reassessment (correction or retest) is a 70. If your child does not pass the assignment on the second attempt, the higher of the two grades will be recorded in the grade book.
This form requires that the student rewrite the question(s) that were missed, work it correctly and write WHY he/she missed that particular question. This is a VERY important step in helping students to evaluate their own mistakes and to avoid them in the future.
The form MUST be SIGNED by a PARENT. Teachers need documentation that the parent is aware that his/her child is struggling with a concept or math objective.
Correction forms WITH the original assignment are due TWO DAYS after the student receives the paper back from the teacher. This will force the student to address their mistakes immediately so that he/she is prepared for the next lesson and the upcoming test.
Remember that the Correction Form is only for MINOR/DAILY grades. Failed tests or major grades are dealt with a different procedure.
