Tests due to absence –
- Tests will be given immediately upon their return.
- Students will be able to receive full credit for their test.
- Students are fully aware of when tests are scheduled. If a student is absent before a test, they are still required to take the test on the day it was scheduled.
Extra Credit
- Extra credit is not to be used to make up for low grades because of missing or late work.
- Work that students complete accurately and neatly that is above and beyond the teacher’s expectations.
- NO student will lose points for attempting to do extra credit work/problems
Here are the ways students can receive extra credit in either homework, tests/quizzes, or projects.
- “Extra effort gets extra credit” – this means that a student has gone well beyond the criteria set by the teacher.
- Extra credit opportunities given on tests/quizzes/projects by the teacher. – to receive credit – it must be correct and neat.
Homework must meet the five criteria below:
- on time
- complete
- followed directions
- accurate/corrected
- neat
Any Homework not turned in when requested is late. Our school homework policy will then go into effect. Any homwork late will NOT recieve full credit. Points will be deducted based on the lateness of the assignment.
- As per school policy, after 2 homework assignments not being turned in, a call then will then be made to the pareent or guardian.
Absences Homework Policy
- Students will be given extra time if absent to get assignments in. Per school and district policy, you will have the same time given to get the assignment turned in as missed.
- Student is responsible for finding out what the assignments are and getting them done in the timeline the teacher and student have agreed upon.
- Handouts given the day the student was absent, can be found in the homwork folder.
