Grades

Nantucket's Redo Policy

County Policy: 

Per AACPS regulation, students may redo [teacher/team will insert either three, four, or five] assessments and/or assignments each quarter. Students are encouraged, but not required, to participate in teacher-led reteaching. All redo items must be completed within ten days of receiving the original grade and may only be redone one time. The higher of the two grades will be used for calculating the student’s quarter grade. The teacher may choose to have the student redo all of an assessment or assignment or may have student only redo specific items or parts of the work. Students may not redo homework, the quarterly assessment, or a large project; however, students may redo parts of a large project, if graded separately by the teacher, with each part counting as a separate redo. Assessments or assignments due in the last week of the quarter are not eligible. In order to help teachers understand the changes in the regulation, we have prepared a video to be shown
