Missing class affects not just one assignment, but two…the one that is due and the one assigned. It is critical that close attention be paid when missing class for any reason..
Make-Up Work Policy:Students will have the same number of days that they were absent from school to make up their work for an absence. When you are absent IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to make arrangements for making up class activities, presentations, quizzes, assessments, or tests. In some cases, it may be necessary to use an alternative form of assessment.
Late Work Policy:Late work is NOT accepted for credit. Students are to expect daily homework assignments and to arrange their schedules accordingly. The overwhelming majority of assignments will be due the next day.
Suspension Make-Up Policy:Students are allowed to make up work while in the support room. It is the STUDENT’s responsibility to obtain the assignment BEFORE they are assigned to the support room.
ABSENT FOR AN ACTIVITY (sport, dance, leadership, field trip, band, choir, etc)? You MUST receive assignments BEFORE you leave for the activity and the assignments will be due the following day. Appointments are to be made with me ahead of time regarding making up tests.
GRADESLetter grades are based according to the following percentages:
Ges:
ACADEMIC DISHONESTYCheating, the use or submission of another’s work as your own, in any form, will not be tolerated, nor will allowing another to use your work to cheat from.
Additionally, the use of any unauthorized notes or technology are considered cheating. Any
student found to be cheating or aiding another in cheating will receive a zero on the assignment, a referral and parents will be notified.
