If students are not safisfied with the score that they earn on a test they may have the option to retake the test.  There is a special form that they must read, sign and have their parents read and sign.  They must also have a short meeting with the teacher either after school or during lunch to discuss why they didn’t do very well, look at the organization of their science binder and schedule the after school retake.  (ALL RETAKES ARE DONE AFTER SCHOOL).  The retake and the planning meeting cannot be done on the same day.  All retakes must be completed within a week and a half of the origonal test/quiz and before the end of the card marking.
