To support and encourage student success in the classroom, student will be expected to submit Homework assignment at the beginning of class. Students may not complete unfinished assignments during class time unless the teacher so advises.
Make Up & Late Work Policies
Make Up Work Policy (for Excused Absences)
It is important to note that the opportunity to make-up work (exams, assignments, etc.) for full credit applies strictly to Excused Absences.When a student returns to class with appropriate documentation (verification) that the absence was excused, the Powerschool record will reflect accordingly and the student will have an equivalent amount of time to make-up assignments or exams. It is the student’s sole responsibility to make arrangements with their teachers to obtain and complete any missing work.
Late Work Policy
Failing to complete assignments (homework, classwork, and major assessments like projects, labs, essays, or research papers) is not acceptable. Students will be expected to complete these assignments and parents will be notified by the teacher if a student has failed to do so (via Powerschool and/or email). Because late work is a sign of poor work habits and lack of responsibility, a late penalty will be applied to any and all late work. The late penalty will be applied as follows:
One Calendar Day Late Penalty: A 25% penalty will be applied (post evaluation) to any assignment if it is received one calendar day after the due date and time.
Second Calendar Day + Late Penalty: A 50% penalty will be applied (post evaluation) to any assignment that is received on or after the second calendar day from the initial due date and time.
Please note that no credit for homework/classwork assignments will be awarded after the summative assessment (exam, paper, etc.) for the unit has passed. A teacher may never accept late work after final grades (quarter and semester) have been submitted.
