SCHOOL-WIDE MAKE-UP WORK POLICIES
General Information:
Make-up work is defined as work that was assigned and/or covered in classes on the day(s) a student was absent. This implies that all work assigned through the student’s last day of attendance is due on the first day of the student’s return to classes or on the previously indicated due date with no extra time allotted. This includes previously scheduled tests, reports, projects, essays, etc. All work is due upon return unless the student has communicated and received approval from the teacher for an extension.
While the teacher is responsible for providing the necessary materials for the missed work, it is incumbent upon the student to obtain all needed materials from the teacher.
Students are required to submit their work on the teacher-determined due date. Report card comments will indicate whether students meet submission deadlines.
For extended excused absences, students should only be required to make up essential work (for example, not exit tickets).
Students are allowed, at minimum, two (2) class days of make-up time for each day of an excused absence. One day to get and understand the material, the second day to turn it into the teacher. Additional days are allowed per teacher discretion.
For pre-approved absences such as vacations, field trips, and college visits (where work was provided in advance), students have one (1) class day for every day of the pre-approved absence.
If students do not meet this deadline, the work falls under the category of LATE WORK (see below).
Extenuating circumstances will be addressed by the building administrator and/or counselor.
SCHOOL-WIDE LATE WORK POLICIES
General Information:
If a student has not submitted the required work by the due date, escalating consequences may include:
Student meets with the teacher during Hornet HR to discuss missing assignments
Teachers should mark the assignment as “Missing” and enter a zero in PowerSchool and parents or guardians should check PowerSchool for missing assignments
In the event of habitual violations (more than 2 late assignments per marking period or 3 late assignments per semester), at the discretion of the building administrator, the student may become ineligible for co- and extracurricular commitments until work is completed satisfactorily.
For summative tasks that are essential to determining a student’s grade, the student may be required to attend compulsory work session(s) at a time determined by the teacher or principal/designee. This could be during Hornet HR or after school or during the student’s study halls.
All work must be submitted by the end of the unit with a 20% point deduction unless the assignment has been reviewed and returned to the class. At this point, the teacher has the discretion to allow an alternate assignment.
Long-term projects and assignments with multiple checkpoints will be accepted until the end of the unit or marking period, whichever comes first, with a 20% deduction when submitted late.
SKIPPING CLASSES
For instances when the students are verified to be skipping class (verified class cut), students are still responsible for completing the work (including assessments) and then the student will receive 50% of their earned grade. No Second Chance learning on skipped assignments. The ability to complete the skipped assignments is the SCL.
NOTE:
These guidelines are the most restrictive permitted. The teacher always has the discretion to provide additional time, full credit, or more leniency if deemed necessary as being in the best interest of the student.
