Bremerton High School Grading Scale

In accordance with district policy, NO EXTRA CREDIT will be given.

Late Work Policy

Teachers will accept student work for 5 school days past the last day of the unit during which the work was assigned. The 5 days will start on the day after the unit ends. Weekends, holidays, and days when school is not in session shall not count as part of the 5 days.

If requested by the student, the teacher may choose to extend the deadline for an individual assignment. If the teacher determines that more time for work completion is warranted, then the student and teacher will establish a written late work agreement - which will also be shared with the parent / guardian of the student.
