For example, if a student is absent for four days, he/she will have four school days to make up and turn in the work. It is the student¢â¡Ás responsibility to check with teachers immediately upon return for work missed. Teachers may choose to schedule an appointment with the student to formulate a plan for the completion of make-up work.
Late Work - In order to successfully contribute to class discussions and activities students will need to have assignments completed before class begins. Assignments are due at the beginning of the hour and will be collected within the first five to ten minutes of class. Assignments handed in at the middle or end of class will be considered late and will not be accepted for credit.
