-----------"WHAT IF I AM ABSENT?"  -----------

IN CASE YOU EVER ARE, PLEASE READ BELOW!

Whenever absent, even if it is an EXCUSED absence, you are fully responsible for making up your missed work in a timely manner. 

1. Missing a test?

You are not allowed to make-up a test after an unexcused absence. Late work is usually accepted in these cases, but communication with me is essential,  so that we can work out a solution together. Missing a test? You must have a legitimate doctor's note / excused absence. 

2. For excused absences, abide by the following guidelines when making up your work:

• If absent 1-2 days consecutively, you are expected to review the notes you missed by the time you return, and are given one extra day to make up & turn in any missed assignments for full credit, including homework assignments. All new assignments are posted to google classroom on the day they are assigned. This is where to go to check what work you're responsible for completing.

  • in these cases, if anything is assigned that is designed to take more than one day to complete, just communicate with me to see when you'll need to have it done by! 

• IF YOU MISS A TEST DUE TO AN EXCUSED ABSENCE, you are expected to make up that test upon return. Failure to do so may result in a late penalty of 5% per day.  After five school days without scheduling the make-up test, the test will receive a zero. If the absence is EXCUSED, you may reach out to me, and (depending on the circumstances) may be given extended time to catch up before taking the exam with no late penalty. 

• Any absences more than two consecutive days: I strongly encourage you to email me so we can plan how you are going to catch up on work. Without communication I will apply default lateness penalties (10% off total each week late for delta maths, HW, other problem sets).

• LATE WORK / MAKE-UP WORK:

  • I generally accept ALL late work until the quarter ends. Delta math assignments are set to give late penalties of -10% per week, and will disappear after two weeks of being posted. HW can only be turned in late the day after you return from your absence. If it is any later than that it will simply receive a zero, since by then I will have posted the answers.

  • If you need to make up an old delta math, and do not see it when you log in, EMAIL ME! I will extend it for you but you must communicate. 

  • IMPORTANT: Delta Math does not notify me when students complete late work, so please EMAIL ME when the late assignment is complete, and be sure to mention the title of the assignment in the email. I will update your grade once I receive and read the email.

3. For unexcused absences, the above guidelines may not apply. There are certain assignments you will not be allowed to make up for credit. Speak with me if this is the case for you.

*Moral of the story is communication with your teacher is key!!*
