Homework and Late Work

Policy

Homework/Late Work Policy:

Students who are absent will have the number of days they were absent to turn in assignments that were due while they were out.

If an assignment is not turned in on the day it is due then it will be a zero in impact.

Students who have missing assignments will not be able to do any extra credit that is offered.

Completing missing work will not change the students grade in impact, it will simply allow them the opportunity to complete extra credit work.

+

Grading Scale and Extra Credit

Grading Scale

100-90 = A89-80 = B79-70 = C69-60 = D59 and below = F

Extra Credit
