SJA Late Work Policy
Students are responsible for all assignments, projects, and homework according to the standards and due dates assigned by the teacher. Any late work turned in after the assigned date will result in a five percent (5%) grade reduction for each day not turned into the teacher. The grade will be five percent (5%) off of what the student earned. A student has a total of five (5) maximum class periods to turn in late assignments. After day five a student will receive an automatic 50%.
If a student is absent from school, they will have the number of days absent to make up the work. This means if a student is out for four (4) days they will have four (4) days to make up and turn in all work to their teacher.
