Make-Up Work Policy
Students are responsible for missed work in the event of an absence. In accordance with District policy, students have 7 days upon returning to school to complete missed work within the quarter the work was assigned. Missed assignments will be noted in the gradebook as missing until complete. For example, if missing work occurred during the end of Q1 and Q2 has already started, and the 7 days allowed an overlap from Q1 to Q2, the work will be accepted during Q2 because the days allowed fall within the 7-day make-up time frame. If the 7-day period ends on a Saturday or a Sunday, the assignment will be due the next school day the student is present. Recap: students have 7 days from the absence to submit missing work, no more than 7 days unless admin approval.
Re-do Work Policy
Any student can redo a major assessment one time if they score below a 60, if the request is within five school days from the date they received their grade/returned assessment.
A teacher does have the discretion to allow a redo more than five school days if they choose, but a student should be allowed at least five days to request a redo.
A type of remediation activity, determined by the teacher, must be completed by the student prior to the assessment retake.
The grades for the 1st and 2nd attempts of the assessment will be averaged together (regardless of whether the 2nd attempt is higher or lower than the 1st attempt). If either assessment score is below a 50, the teacher will use the grade floor of a 50 to average into the final assessment grade.
Redo attempts should happen outside of class time (i.e, advisory, tutoring time, Panther Success, etc.).
The teacher should receive a parent/guardian written note, email, or phone call prior to the student being granted a redo attempt. A teacher can waive this requirement at their discretion if the parent/guardian is unreachable via phone or unable to return a note/email granting permission for the test retake.
A student may not use this policy if they are caught cheating on a major assessment
Late Work Policy
Schools will accept late work with no penalty to the student up to 5 days after the original due date or the end of the grading period, whichever comes first. A teacher may extend the late work acceptance deadline upon administration approval of extenuating circumstances but may not reduce the time. The work, although submitted late, will not receive a point reduction. Assessments must be about mastery of content, and, if graded, the goal is to assess mastery, not behaviors. Work can be accepted late across grading periods by special exception and approval of administration.
Cheating Policy
Consequences are the same whether it is a major or minor assignment.
Any students caught cheating will not be able to use the student re-do policy to retake the assessment
First Offense- Teacher will write the referral, and the admin will give a WARNING, and the student will receive a 50 on the assignment; the student cannot use the student re-do policy to retake the assessment. Parents will be contacted.
Second Offense- Teacher will write the referral. Admin will use the matrix to assign a consequence, and the student will receive a 50 on the assignment; the student cannot use the re-do policy to make up the assessment. Parents will be contacted.
Third Offense and each Offense thereafter- Will be handled by the admin.
