Geometry Retake Policy

Mr. Sondgeroth will employ the following policy with regard to retaking assessments in Geometry:

1 - Mr. Sondgeroth allows unlimited retakes in Geometry.
     - Students may retake multiple assessments, primarily chapter tests (summative assessment).
     - Students may retake the same assessment multiple times (within reason).

2 - The better grade stands ... after the first retake.
     - For subsequent retakes of the same assessment, the last grade will be entered into the gradebook.

3 - Students must complete the entire assessment.
     - Students deed to weigh the need to raise their grade a couple of points against the time invested.
     - In some instances, Mr. Sondgeroth will limit the number of sections that need to be retaken.
