Make Up Work
Students are responsible for their make-up work. Each student can find missed assignments on Google Classroom or by contacting their teacher. It is their responsibility to locate their work upon returning to school. Students are allowed 1 day to make-up their work for each day they are absent.
If a student is absent on the day of scheduled quiz or exam or the date a written assignment is due, that work must be made up the day they return or at the discretion of the teacher. Grades will be entered as a zero (0) until they are made up.
Late Work Policy
10 points will be deducted each day an assignment is late. Grades will be entered as a zero until the late work is received. After three days, the grade will remain a zero.
