  • Students will have up to 3 calendar days to turn in late work. 

  • 30 points will be deducted from the graded score for late work  

  • After 3 calendar days, the student will receive a zero for the assignment. 

Retesting

Re-tests and test corrections are allowed for a maximum grade of 70. Students are allowed up to 1 week to schedule a time that is mutually agreeable with the teacher and student to re-test or do corrections. To be eligible for re-tests or test corrections, the student must attend a tutorial session with the teacher. Though re-tests and test corrections are allowed for a maximum grade of 70 for all students, which of those options is offered will be at the discretion of the teacher.

Make-up work

For every school day absent, the student has one school day for completion of missed assignments. Administrators have the discretion to modify this guideline in circumstances where students are absent due to an extended illness. Ongoing projects or assignments that were assigned in advance of the day or days missed are due on the assigned date. Example: A student is present for class on Monday and given an assignment that is due on Friday. The student is absent Thursday. The student is still responsible for having the assignment ready to turn in when they attend class Friday.
