ASSIGNMENTS and LATE WORK


All assignments are due when called for and are considered late after that time.
Long-term assignments are due on the date even if the student is absent.
Rewriting: If you score below 90% on any major assignment, essay, lab, etc. you may do a rewrite. In
order to rewrite an assignment, you must meet with me to discuss your work and set a time for it to be due.
If Lab materials are unavailable the Lab may not be made up.
Cooperation: You are encouraged to discuss labs and homework with each other and to use outside
resources for help. However, any final product must be your own work.

MAKE-UP WORK FOR ABSENCES


Absences: Remember that absences from classes are very hard to make up but not impossible. We don't
want you in school if you are sick; you will be given an opportunity to make up all work that was missed. If
you will have an extended absence, ask for homework requests in order to keep up. If you are absent due
to sports, make up the class the next day. Special projects and research reports where you have
advance, long-term notice of due dates are due whether you are in school that day or not (excused,
unexcused or sports activity).
 The student is responsible for checking with the teacher for assignments when returning from an
absence.
 If you are absent the day of a test, or on the day prior to a test, you must take the test on the day
you return to school. Make arrangements with the teacher for the test make-up.
 Usually, all makeup test and quizzes will be in essay form.
