I have had a few students take advantage of the retake and allowing them to boost their average quite a bit. However, I still have a handful of students who scored very low on their unit test who have not come for tutoring, shown any interest in retaking the unit test and have scored very low in math the past few years in middle school (looking on SLDS). I thought maybe contacting parents and making them aware of their child's low average in math would help them encourage the student at home. So far, nothing. What should I do from here. I hate to let it slide and it come down to the end of the semester and it be too late for them to do anything? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) My school system has a mandated retake policy for students that do not meet mastery level determined by each of their local schools or departments. We first try to contact parents about this as well then we look at the extra-curricular activities the student is involved in and get their coach or sponsor to have conversations about taking advantage of this policy. If none of those options are working or available we look to our Communities-In-School (CIS) coordinator to get this child a mentor to help them understand the importance of school.
