Attendance and Make-up/Late Work
- Upon returning to class, a student must ask for make-up work.
- The student will have double the time of his/her absence to complete the make-up work at home (absence of 2 days = 4 days to complete)
- If a student is absent and there is no note from a guardian or school-official, all make-up work will be treated as late work.
- Late Work (partial credit) is work turned in after the due date with no note from a guardian or school official.
- If work is turned in the day after it is due, the work can receive up to 75.
- All late work turned in two days or more after the due date cannot earn more than a 50. These rules include tests or a project due-date.
