Preparation for post-secondary education endeavors
Homework and Late Work
Policy
Organization and preparedness are skills
you will need regardless of your post-secondary plans.
Homework will be writing compositions, studying for
tests, or reading. DO ALL OF IT.
· Major assignments drop by one
full grade EACH DAY they are late.
· Some work can NOT be made up,
especially the oral assignments.
· See me before 7:30 or during Lunch about make-up work, not right as the
class is about to begin.
· Students who are absent from class and
provide an acceptable excuse may make up tests by appointment with the teacher.
· If students miss a class for
sports or field trip activities, they are required to submit the assigned
work the day it is due, either before school or during the school day;
excuses such as “I was not in class” are not acceptable.
· End-of-semester deadline is the first day of stop week; no work
will be accepted after that date. It is
in the students’ best interest to meet deadlines and submit work of the highest
quality by due dates.
