Students have five (5) school days after returning from an excused absence to submit missed work unless alternative arrangements are made because of an extended absence or other extenuating circumstances. If alternative arrangements have not been made with the teacher, a grade of zero will be recorded as the grade for the missing work.

Students will have the opportunity to retake any major assessment. Once grades for the assessment are posted, the student will have five days to complete the school Google Form indicating they intend to retake the assessment. The teacher will provide a reteaching opportunity, and schedule a time for the student to complete the retake. Essays, projects and performances that are assigned major assessment grades are not eligible for a retake. Individual teachers will not establish separate procedures.
