Wilson Second Chance Policy

Wilson High School has initiated a policy that encourages students to do their best. This policy offers a second chance to master the concepts tested in assessments that comprise 50 % of the grade. Below are the components of the plan.

Computing Grades
Major assignments and tests are counted as 50% of the course grade.

Class work, daily work, quizzes, and homework are counted as 30% of the course grade.

The nine-weeks, EOC, and final exams will count as 20% of the course grade.


Policy Implementation
 If a student earns a score below 77% on a 50% assessment, the student has the option to redo the assignment for a grade not to exceed 77%.

50% grades may be redone ONCE for a maximum grade of 77%. If the work is not done, a zero is recorded. The original grade is recorded if the work is not redone.

30% grades may NOT be redone. If a 30% assignment is not turned in, a zero is recorded. If a student earns a grade of less than 77%, the original grade is recorded. Example: A student earns 62 on a homework assignment. The 62 is the recorded grade.

Exams (nine weeks and finals) may not be redone.

All extra help and/or redo work must be completed within five school days (during advisement or as scheduled by the teacher).
