What is the 7th Grade Language Arts Recovery Policy? • Tests only (no quizzes, projects, or essays). • Any grade… any student • Student initiated (You will not be forced to retake a test!) • You will receive the higher grade.
How do I Recover? 1. Write an intent to recover letter. 2. Attend a scheduled help session. 3. Attend a recovery test session.
Intent to Recover Letter • Must include the following: • The date/time of the help session you plan to attend • The time of the recovery test session you plan to attend • An “I plan” statement where you indicate the grade you plan on making for the recovery • 3 ways you plan to improve your test score (3 complete sentences) • Student and Parent signature
Sample “Intent to Recover” Letter Dear Mrs. Wilson, I would like to recover the Unit 1: Test 1. I plan to attend the help session for recovery on Wednesday September 19th at 8:00 am in room 726. I also plan to attend the recovery test session on Friday at 8:00 am in room 723. I plan to make a 90% or higher on the recovery test. In order to improve my grade, I will re-read the two stories: “The Fall of the Hindenburg” and “The Three Century Woman” in my literature book online. I will also study my notes on fiction and nonfiction (in my IN). Finally, I plan to come to the help session on Wednesday with plenty of questions, hoping to better understand the material. Thank you, Sarah Smith(student) Tracy Smith(parent)
