Rewrites, Late Assignments, and Incompletes (From student handbook)

  1. Rewrites/re-tests. All tests/assignments must be written or handed in on the due date. *At the discretion of the teacher, the student may be allowed to do a rewrite if both of the following conditions are met: a. student attends all available tutorials/additional work assigned, b. student can show purpose/cause for a rewrite. The higher grade received will be the one recorded.
  2. Late assignments. Any assignments handed in beyond the due date will be subject to penalty marks. The following penalty marks will be applied: 1 – 2 days: 10% 3 – 5 days: 20% & beyond 5 days: 30%. *In extenuating situations, at the discretion of the teacher, the due date can be adjusted. Students must communicate with the teacher ahead of time (anytime prior to due date & not on the day that it is due) to request any extension of a due date giving the reason.
  3. For all incomplete assignments, an allocated time after school (3:30 – 4:30 pm) once per week (day to be decided) will be provided as a form of detention to allow the student to complete the assignment with a supervisor. Any outstanding work not completed after 5 days (maximum penalty 30%) will be accepted up totwo weeks prior to the end of the respective reporting period, at which point a zero mark will be assigned.

PLEASE COME SEE ME BEFORE IF YOU CAN NOT HAND IN AN ASSIGNMENT ON TIME… Life happens!

MTO

Junior High students (grades 6-9) are expected to volunteer their time working with non-profit organizations as a requirement for their Christian Education service. Minimum 10 hours are required to be completed no later than June 1st for grade 6 – 8 students. Grade 9 students will be required to complete their MTO hours prior to the spring mission trip.

The minimum 10 hours equates to 20% of their overall Bible mark. Students can begin accumulating their hours from July 1st. In order to serve our greater community, a maximum of five hours are allowed from your local church. In addition, services to family members will not count towards MTO hours.
