Homework
In order to achieve satisfactory results and maintain a 2.0 grade point average, a minimum of two hours of homework are required of each student each evening preceding a school day (Sunday through Thursday). This should be dedicated time free of distractions and interruptions. This amount of time is recognized as a minimum and should include completion of all written and reading assignments, reading and review of class notes, looking ahead to future chapters, and, when all else is completed, reading from a book of choice.
Teachers are required to permit students with excused absences and sports/school-activity-related absences to make up assignments missed during the absence. The student will be permitted to make up missed work within the amount of time in which the student was absent up to 10 school days after return to school. It is the student's responsibility to arrange with his or her teacher to make up a test or work missed because of absence.
In the case of unexcused absences, missed assignments may be made up at the discretion of teachers.
In the case of a student truancy, the student will earn a zero for any assignment missed on the day of occurrence, and the work may not be made up.
Parents should realize that a student's grade may suffer because of any absence.
Acceptance of late homework, except homework late due to absence, is as the discretion of the teacher.
