Late Work Policy

Teachers reserve the right to alter this policy based on extenuating circumstances.  Extenuating circumstances should be discussed with the administration.

• Late work is defined as work not completed/turned in on time even though the student attended the class.

• Any assignment which is not turned in on time will be deducted 10 points off of the original grade earned for each school day the assignment is late up to five days.

• After five days, the student will be assigned a 0 for the assignment.

• Late work will not be accepted after the end of a grading period.

• Students who have 504/IEP/ESOL accommodations specifically allowing for extra time may exceed the 5 day window to maintain compliance with their respective educational plan.

• Dual Credit courses may have varying late work policies that are aligned with their parent university.  

• Students are encouraged to utilize the before and after school tutoring programs to complete make-up and late work in a proactive manner.

EASTSIDE HIGH SCHOOL CELL PHONE POLICY

• Eastside High School is a Personalized Learning School with each student having access to a Chromebook to use for instructional purposes.  

• To increase student engagement and minimize distractions to the instructional environment, students are not allowed to use their personal electronic devices, which include but are not limited to cell phones and earbuds, during any class.  

• Students may use their personal devices before school, after school, during lunch, and during class changes.  

• Failure to comply with this policy will be treated as a refusal to obey.  A consequence matrix addressing infractions is included in the student handbook and located on the school’s website.

• Neither the school nor the district will be responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged electronic device or cell phone brought onto school property.
