[quote=Anonymous]I have a question about the Grading and Reporting policy and I'm wondering there are any teachers here who might know the answer before I contact the Principal.

So, PGCPS policy is that the students are able to repeat assignments and have their grades replaced if a given set of criteria are met.  Here is part of the policy:
....
3) Within ten school days of receiving the returned original graded work, the student completed
and resubmitted the new assessment, activity, or assignment.

4) The higher grade shall be the grade of record.

5) If the work is not eligible for reassessment, that must be identified in writing on the rubric at
the time of original assignment. Final research reports and projects that culminate a unit of study,
or final semester or marking period exams may not be reassessed.

6) Make up work can not be submitted 5 school days prior to the end of the quarter to ensure
teachers have time to grade all outstanding work.

My 4th grader had an assignment that was due in mid Feb but the teacher only graded and entered the SchoolMax data last night.  If I had been provided the grade, I would have requested that we be allowed to revise it for regrading.    So the policy states that you have 10 days of the receiving the grade to resubmit but that you can't resubmit anything less than 5 school days prior to the end of the quarter.   So, what happens if you don't have 5 days before the end of the quarter when you get the grade?

I know it isn't a huge deal but my kid has been working hard this quarter to  get straight A's.

It also drives me nuts when there is a policy that clearly contradicts itself.  I already emailed the teacher questioning the grade because I was really surprised by her score.
