CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING GRADES PTHS LEARNING POLICY Rationale

The learning of concepts for students may occur at different rates or as a result of different experiences or support. Since all students will be measured against the content and standards for the subject area, retakes are allowed for all students who have failed to meet the minimum competency and mastery requirements of the standards. As the teacher is the authority in the classroom, the teacher maintains the right to disallow a retake at his/her discretion determined on a case by case basis.
