    What to Do If You Don’t Like Your Grade

    1. Turn in missing work as soon as possible.  Check Infinite Campus to find out what you are missing.  Missing assignments are marked as "missing".
    2. Retake online or written quizzes (not progressive quizzes).  Come in to Ms. Wyatt’s room before or after school or during homeroom and study with an output for 20 minutes.  You may split the time over several days but you may not take the quiz until the day after you finish studying.  The quizzes for each unit must be retaken by the day of the unit test. You will receive the last grade earned for the quiz.
    3. Study your notes every day (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) with an output such as rewriting or typing notes, reading them aloud, or making and using flashcards for 10 minutes.  Amazingly enough, it really does help you do better on regular quizzes, online quizzes, progressive quizzes, tests, and the final!  Consistency is the key to maintaining the effectiveness of short yet frequent review sessions.
    4. If you are feeling overwhelmed, come talk to me.  We may be able to work out a plan to help you meet your goals.  Please realize you will be less likely to develop a successful plan if you wait until the last few weeks of the semester because there won't be enough time to reasonably implement a plan.
