That certainly seems helpful to students. My point was that where a quiz/test actually occurs in Q2, I’m surprised there is discretion to move the grade for it into a different marking period. I also get that will hurt some students and help others but figured that’s all the more reason there would be hard and fast criteria for which marking period it falls in based on the test date and the marking period end date, rather than a more discretionary decision.

So I get this for assignments for which you are setting a due date in quarter 3, but for a quiz that's taken in quarter 2? It's just entirely at a teacher's discretion to choose which quarter to place the grade in? Isn't this why there are 2 days off schools for grading days at the end of the quarter? I don't understand.

For example, if the last day of the second marking period is 1/29, and a quiz is taken on 1/27, does the teacher have discretion to decide that the quiz grade will be included in the third marking period (even though it occurred in the second)? Thanks!
The teacher has to be able to provide for remediation and retakes for an assessment.
Only for summative and only if original score was below an 80. Teachers do not have to allow for quizzes to be retake, but can at their discretion
