Missing Work Policy
Students must fill out the google form placed in google classroom in order for missing work to be graded. This helps students hold themselves accountable and helps Ms. Whits keep with missing assignments being turned in.
Students can only turn in a missing assignment from the unit until before the unit test is given. After the unit test, missing work from the unit will not be accepted.
Missing assignments will have a 25% deduction from the final grade of the assignment due to the assignment being turned in late.
If a student is absent the schools policy of absent work will apply to the student. Student may see Ms. Whitis for directions of missing work done in class after they have returned to school.
