Make-up Test Policy

Communication is crucial! If you know you will miss a test, you must make arrangements before the test date to make up the exam. If you are sick or have an emergency on the day of the test, you must contact your teacher at school either by Email (search the school website for contact info.) Failure to arrange a make-up test will result in a zero for the exam.

Late work policy

ALL work turned in after the beginning of the period on the due date is considered late. Work turned in after the due date without an excused absence or excused tardy will be accepted for partial credit. After an assignment has been returned to the class, no credit may be earned on that assignment. Work is expected promptly upon returning from an excused absence and should be handed directly to the teacher upoin entering class with an excused tardy.

AP Test:

All students are expected to take the AP test in May. If you follow our instructions and work hard all year, you will be prepared to ace this test! Please talk to your teacher if if you have any concerns about taking the AP test.
