The Eagle's Press
Week of March 10
Dear Eagles,
We value our commitment to support students as they master concepts and skills. Our teachers allow students to submit retakes and revisions as an extension of that support. Retakes and revisions are intended to help students learn from mistakes and deepen their understanding, but it's important to use them strategically. While retakes and revisions are valuable opportunities for growth, they do not take the place of proper preparation before initial assessments.
It has come to my attention that there are students in every grade level who are missing the purpose of retakes and revisions. Eagles, I encourage you to carefully review feedback from initial attempts to identify specific areas for improvement. More specifically, focus on addressing the areas for growth identified in the feedback, rather than simply repeating the same process. In addition to reviewing feedback, take time to reflect on your learning process. Ask yourself what you can do differently to improve your understanding and performance. I recommend using available resources, asking questions, and seeing help when needed. If you're struggling with a concept, study and schedule a flex session for additional support before requesting a retake.
We maintain our commitment to providing our Eagles with the support they need to succeed. We encourage open communication between students, parents, and teachers to ensure that retakes and revisions are used effectively. Let's work together to continue fostering a learning environment that promotes deep understanding, responsible learning habits, and a genuine passion for growth and development.
Onward and upward,
~Principal Banks
