Making the Grade

Standard

Students may retake a different form of any quiz or test with an unsatisfactory grade in order to improve their average.

***There are a few catches:
            1. Must be done before or after school.
            2. Must take a different form but same
                content.
            3. If the retake is lower, the highest grade is
                retained
            4. You may only retake each quiz or
                test one time.
