The students will be graded in the following manner

Homework Policy:

Rarely will we have homework in related arts Generally homework will consist of make-up or missing assignments. The students may occassionally have a report but if that is the case it will be in my weekly lesson plans with due dates. In social studies homework

Missed Work/Make-up work:

If a student is absent from school, it is his/her responsibility to make up the work missed within a 5 day period of time. In addition, notes missed should be copied from another student or the teacher. If a student fails to bring in an assignment on the due date, the work may be completed by the student as it is gone over in class for 50%. I will have a folder for each class with missing papers. They will need to check the folders or check with a student to get the work/notes.

Late Work Policy

I expect ALL assignments to be turned in on time. Late work will be accepted with a ten point reduction for each late day.
