Late/Absent Work

Students are aware of the policy concerning late and missing work.  It is important to question your child periodically, check skyward, and check with me to check up on work habits. E-mail is a great tool and the quickest way to get a response. The calendar in Skyward is a great way to find out when assignments are due.  Please feel free to e-mail me.

Late assignments, each student has opportunities each quarter to receive a late pass allowing them to turn in a daily assignment one day late with no penalty on that assignment grade and no infraction slip. Any daily assignment after one day late, or after using up the late passes for the quarter, will cause your student to receive an infraction. This may seem strict; however, ample time is given to students during class and outside of class to complete all daily assignments and projects.

Students may hand in late work anytime throughout the quarter to receive credit.   Work turned in without a late slip will be accepted and graded as time permits and will receive credit in the grade book. 

Absent work is the student’s responsibility.  A classmate will write down what is missed in class and what the assignment was.   If the information is incomplete or does not make sense it is your child’s responsibility to ask the person who wrote it, or to ask me.  Obviously, a student often has to not only make up things missed, but also work on completing current assignments that are given.  A reasonable amount of time will be given to complete work.  If a large project is due the day your child is absent it will be due the day they return.  Please realize a reasonable amount of time will need to be given for me to grade absent work.

I want to see students become active in their learning and to become responsible people.
