Late Work PolicyTeachers will not ask for late work
• If you do not complete a daily grade assignment, you will receive a grade of zero on that day & it will be entered as a “M” in the Gradebook
• This “zero” can be replaced for a maximum of a 70% by turning in the work at the start of class the next day, but daily work will not be accepted after one day.
• Major assignments must be submitted on time or there will be a deduction of 15% for being one day late or 30% for being two days late. No projects will be accepted after two days late.
Absences
It is the STUDENT’S responsibility to see what was missed when absent, NOT the teacher’s
• Check the Absent Bin for assignments missed, as well as my Schoology for notes, power points, etc.
• Students may request assignments early for expected absences, please be aware that there may not always be assignments to do ahead of time.
• It is the student’s responsibility to complete assignments and catch up on concepts missed during an absence.
• Students will have one class day for every day they are absent to makeup missed work.
• Long-term project due dates and presentation dates still hold as these assignments were given with plenty of notice.
Internet & PrintingStudents are given several days notice for any assignment that needs to be typed.
• Students are expected to be aware of issues with equipment at home and plan accordingly; please help them.• The library/media center computer lab is available
before school and during Go-Time M-F with the occasional Tuesday morning closing.• I am happy to print an assignment if needed.
• Bring it on a flash drive in the morning before school.• Email it to me prior to class time.• Assignments emailed to me after I have collected the
assignment in class or after class has ended are considered late even if emailed on the due date.
**There should be no excuses as to why an assignment is not printed if required by the teacher.
Student EmailPlease sit down with your student when he/she emails a teacher to model and monitor proper form and content. Please always include the following:• A subject in the subject line• Clearly communicated purpose or need• Salutation with first and last name (especially if his/her email address does not clearly communicate the sender)
