If you do not have your homework, you may turn in homework by 7:45 the next morning for a maximum grade of a 70. If you do not bring it to me by 7:45, then the homework will not be accepted.  Projects will not be accepted late. Please refer to guidelines in Student Handbook.

Make-Up Work:

  • Student is responsible for getting make-up work before/after school and during break.

Failing Assignments:

Per Policy: Any assignment failed, you must have the opportunity to bring the failing grade up to a maximum of a 70. If you fail a homework or daily assignment, it is your (student) responsibility to come see me about an alternate assignment by the end of the class period so I can arrange the alternate assignment for you. The grade you make on the alternate assignment is the final grade for the assignment. If you a test (not a nine weeks test or a project), then you must attend tutorials with me to help you with your corrections before the day of the re-test. A re-test will be given on an announced day.  If the student does not come in for tutorials and/or make the necessary corrections, they will not be allowed to retake the test.
