Late Work Policy

·         All CHEC teachers will accept work one calendar day late for full credit if a student is absent. For example, if an assignment was due on Monday, it will be accepted on Tuesday for full credit.   This is not true for GRASPS. Those assignments will only be accepted on the day they are due.

·         If a student is not absent, they will lose 10 percent of the value of an assignment for each additional calendar day (excluding weekends) the work is late. For example an assignment that is due on a Monday that is turned in on Wednesday will be worth a maximum of 80 percent of the points possible, on Thursday that would fall to 70 percent, on Friday it would be worth a maximum of 60 percent. Work that is more than five calendar days late (excluding weekends) will not be accepted.

Exceptions to the above policy include excused absences due to exentuating circumstances including but not limited to illness, death in the family, and pregnancy.  Teachers will document communications with families and students for the completion of culminating projects and GRASPs.
