MAKEUP: Follows AP procedure.
Teachers are required to provide make-up work (within 48 hours) when requested for students who are
lawfully absent, including suspensions, and who have not qualified for home teaching.
3. For all suspensions, teachers are required to provide make-up work and assignments to all students, unless other educational alternatives are provided. It is the responsibility of the parent(s)/guardian(s) to contact the school and make arrangements.
4. Students who are lawfully absent may not be penalized for work requested but not provided by the school for periods of such lawful absence.
GRADING – UNLAWFUL ABSENCES (REFER TO A.P. 5113)
1. In secondary schools, a student with unlawful absences will receive a “failing” grade for any day(s) of such absence(s). The failing grades will be averaged with other daily grades. Teachers should enter “0” (zero) in SchoolMAX for unexcused absences and add a comment to the note section for each applicable assignment “unexcused absence.”
2. The school is not required to provide make-up work for unlawful absences.
RETAKE- Allowed on Assessments and Classwork except labs
Students are allowed to retake as many as they requested upon reteaching and at teacher’s given time (e.g. after school or before school)
Evidence of reteach (in-class, intervention assignment, with parent notification)
Timeline for retake will be within a week of returning graded work.
AP 5121.3 Highlight
Reporting
a. In reporting to parents/guardians, a letter grade is used to indicate the performance of each student in
relation to the attainment of learning outcomes and approved curricula.
b. Students and/or parents/guardians may request one additional opportunity to improve a score on a
qualifying assessment, activity, or assignment that demonstrates knowledge of course content, skills, and
standards. An assessment, activity or assignment is considered qualifying if the following criteria are met:
1). The student completed and submitted the original assessment, activity, or assignment by the
due date.
2). The student participated in the teacher-facilitated re-teaching (before, during, or after school)
within five school days following the return of the original graded work.
3). Within ten school days of receiving the returned original graded work, the student completed
and resubmitted the new assessment, activity, or assignment.
4). The higher grade shall be the grade of record.
5). If the work is not eligible for reassessment, that must be identified in writing at the time of
original assignment. Final research reports and projects that culminate a unit of study, or fina
semester or marking period exams may not be reassessed.
6). Make up work can not be submitted 5 school days prior to the end of the quarter to ensure
teachers have time to grade all outstanding work.
c. Letter grades will be used on report cards for all courses taken for credit.
d. By the end of the first ten (10) days of school, teachers will communicate in writing the grading
procedures, grading factors, and weight assigned to each factor to all students and parents. (see
attachment)
e. A student enrolled in a course for twenty-one (21) days or more after the start of the course must
receive a letter grade for that grading period.
If lawfully absent students return to school near the close of the first, second, or third marking period and
do not have sufficient time as described above to make up the missed work, an “I” grade will be assigned and a comment will be entered that make-up work is pending.
