Student Responsibility

Students are responsible to make up any work/tests/quizzes/projects they miss when they are absent. They are responsible to arrange a time with me to make up tests/quizzes. Students are responsible to check for Make-Up Work in the hanging file on the wall. Students will have extra time to complete assignments when absent in correlations with the days missed.(ie: absent 1 day-may complete assignment 1 day past due date). All tests and quizzes must be completed within a week of original test/quiz date.

Students are responsible for checking Edmodo for assignments and tools to help with notes and class work.

Late work will be accepted no later than 5 days beyond the due date. 30 points per day past the due date will be deducted from the final grade.

A student will receive an opportunity to be re-evaluated when he/she receives a grade below 70% in the evaluation category (excluding evaluation grades received on projects/assignments that extend over a period of 5 days.) In order for re-evaluation to occur, the student will participate in the re-teaching process as determined by the teacher. The re-evaluation score will replace the original score with a maximum grade of 70%. The re-evaluation process must take place within 5 school days of receiving the initial grade below 70.
