Make-up and Late Work Policies
Late work due to an excused absence will follow the WCPSS make up work policy: Assignments assigned prior to an absence will be due upon return; this includes tests scheduled for the day of the return.
If the make-up work has not been assigned in advance, for absences of 1 to 3 days, the student will have a minimum of 1 day for each absence to complete missed assignments. For absences exceeding 3 days, the student will have a minimum of 2 days for each absence to complete assignments. Students will receive full credit for all make-up work following an excused absence as long as the work is completed within the time limit according to teacher expectations. Special consideration should be given in the case of extended absences due to injury or chronic illness.
All students receiving honors credit for a course have the opportunity to recover grades through completing alternative assignments to demonstrate mastery, turning in missing work, and/or completing retests. Classwork/Homework that is submitted on time and meets the minimal completion requirements will receive a score no less than 50%. Late work is due by two (2) days after end of unit assessment and does not need to be accepted by the teacher after this time. Late work will receive 60% of the original grade.
Retest Policy: Per school policy, students who make below an 80 on a Unit Test can take a retest for a maximum score of 80. In order to retest, students must request retest within one week of returned test using form provided, will have completed and turned in ALL assignments for the unit, and will have completed any required remediation for the unit.
Tests missed due to absence should be made up as soon as possible and no later than 1 week of the original test date. After that time, students are not allowed to take the original test anymore and will receive a 0 for that test. Students will be allowed to then retest with a maximum score of 80%.
