Assignments, Make-up, & Late Work

Assignments

We believe student achievement improves when homework is assigned regularly and when students conscientiously complete it. Further, we believe well-designed homework assignments relate directly to class work and are an extension of student learning beyond the classroom. Finally, we believe homework gives students experience in following directions, making judgments, and developing self-discipline and responsibility.

The following homework procedures have been adopted at Clover Middle School:

Reasonable amounts of homework will be given on a regular basis.
The student will be responsible for make-up homework.
Zeroes can be assigned when students fail to turn in homework.

Make-Up Work

Teachers will permit students to make-up assignments missed during an absence as long as the student makes appropriate arrangements with the teacher. In order to receive full credit, assignments should be made up within 10 days of returning to school. After the 10-day period, students may complete make-up assignments through the end of the current interim grading period for a maximum grade of 70. The week prior to the end of a grading period will default to the end of the following term. Students may request an extension of the 10 day period through their Student Support Team.

Students will not be excused from assignments during an absence. A student who is absent from school on the day of a test or the due date for a major project, but who was present for all instruction leading up to that day and was aware of the test/due date, must take the test or submit the project on the day he/she returns to class.

Students are expected to make up all assignments missed during an absence. It is the responsibility of students to get assignments when they are absent from school. Students are encouraged to get assignments from their teachers. This information can be found on the teacher’s Canvas page or by emailing the teacher. Students who are to be absent from school for an extended period should request assignments from their teachers prior to the absence.

Late Assignment Policy

Late assignments can be submitted up until the interim or a week prior to the end of the grading period. Each grade level will communicate these expectations.
