A grade penalty will be applied to late work.

• 3 days late = up to 70 max
• The grade earned on late work will be denoted in the gradebook with a .01 at the end of the grade to communicate that the student's work was turned in late. For example, if a student turns in a late assignment for which they earned an 85, then the grade in the gradebook will be recorded as an 85.01.

*This opportunity does not alter the UIL eligibility requirements. 

At Cypress Woods High School, it is our focus to work side-by-side with all students in order to reach the highest levels of academic success possible. Students at Cypress Woods High School shall be afforded the following opportunity each grading period in each course:

• One (1) opportunity to redo a Summative Assessment grade for which a failing grade (below 70) was earned
• One (1) opportunity to redo a Relevant Application grade for which a failing grade (below 70) was earned
• One (1) opportunity to redo a Checking for Understanding grade for which a failing grade (below 70) was earned. 
• The grade earned on a redo/retest opportunity will be denoted in the gradebook with .02 at the end of the grade to communicate that the redo opportunity has been used. For example, if a student earned a 70 on a redone assignment or a retest, then the grade in the gradebook will be recorded as a 70.02
• The highest grade possible on a redo is a 70
• No grade lower than the original grade will be earned 
• Tutorial attendance may be required
• Redo opportunities shall be completed prior to the next unit exam
• District Progress Monitoring (DPMs), TEKS tests, and Final/Semester Exams are not eligible for Retest/Redo.
• Cheating:
  • Checking for Understanding: assignment cannot be redone (grade = 0)
  • Relevant Application: redo opportunity provided (maximum grade = 50)
  • Summative Assessment: redo opportunity provided (maximum grade = 50)
  • Skipping class to avoid or extend time for a summative or relevant application (maximum grade = 70)
