Make-up Work
Students who are not in class are responsible for finding out what they have missed and for making up the work. It is the student’s responsibility, not the teacher’s. All work must be handed in to the teacher or the student will not receive credit for the assignment.
All quizzes and tests will be made up during a scheduled learning center and not during class time.
The consequences for not attending the scheduled learning center will be a ZERO for that particular test or quiz.
Check your grade !
-
Grades are updated on a weekly basis and are available in the classroom or on Infinite Campus.
-
M = missing work due to an absence or a valid reason. Work needs to be made up by the end of the week or it becomes a zero.
-
0 = work was not done because the student chose not to do it. This can not be made up.
Tests Procedures:
Quizzes or tests are NOT announced ahead of time because students are tested on long-term memory. The following behavior is expected when taking a quiz or a test:
- Write in blue or black pen only
- All materials are put away in backpacks
- Eyes placed only on your own paper
- Raise your hand if you need help
- NO communication of any kind with others
Any form of test-taking violations will result in a zero (0) for that grade and an automatic U (Unsatisfactory) in citizenship for that grading period on the report card. Repeated incidents of test-taking violations will be reported to the administrators.
