Grading procedures including re-teach options and retest guidelines for major grades:

Summative Assessments will be formal quizzes given throughout a unit and tests given at the end of a unit. Any student retaking a summative assessment with a score of 70 or higher must have completed a self-assessment, practice problems and possible required tutoring. The two assessment grades will be averaged together. Students MAY be required to retake the entire assessment OR only the TEKS for which they did not show mastery.

Students that make below a 70 on a summative assessment will be required to retake the assessment after they have completed a self assessment, practice problems and possible required tutoring. The two assessments will be averaged together. Students MAY be required to retake the entire assessment OR only the TEKS for which they did not show mastery.

Grade Repair procedures:

Students that receive a grade below a 70 for a grading period will be re-evaluated for placement in a 6th grade math class. They will have an opportunity to participate in 6th math grade repair. They must complete 70% of the module with a score of at least 70. The failing grade will be changed to a 70.

End of Course Exam (EOC): there is no EOC test for this course. 6th Grade Accelerated Math students will take the 7th grade Math STAAR test on Monday, May 14, 2018.
