Late Work/Re-do Policy
High School
Failure to make up work within five school days, immediately following the absence, will result in the student's grade being jeopardized in classes missed during the period of absence. in cases of prolonged illness, special consideration will be given. It is the responsibility of the student, not the teachers, to arrange for make-up work.
Work assigned before the absence will be due the day the student returns
Test assigned before the absence will be taken on the scheduled test date or the next day
If students miss a test or quiz while absent, on the first day back, arrange with the teacher to make up the work
In general, work is made up before or after school in order not to miss more class time. Check with each teacher and arrange with him or her to complete this in a timely manner
Late or missing work for students that were present will follow each grade level policy. This will include work not turned in or work that has an unsatisfactory grade
Middle School
All work missed during any absence must be completed and returned to the teacher within five (5) days of the students return to school.
Students are responsible to get makeup work from their teacher(s).
Provisions to make up school work missed during extended absences can be worked out with the teacher(s) concerned.
