If a student wants to revise a written assignment, they need to hand in the old assignment and the written assignment revision form.
If a student wants to revise a quiz, they must hand in the original quiz along with the quiz retake revision form.
****ALL OF THESE REVISION FORMS REQUIRE A PARENT SIGNATURE!
