Absence From Class Due to Illness

	Students and parents should refer to teachers' web sites for class announcements and assignments.
	On the third consecutive day of an absence, parents may contact the office to request work. The work will be submitted to the office and parents may pick up the work at the end of the school day. Please be aware that any work request submitted after 12:30 PM may not be ready for parent pick-up until after 3:15 PM.
	Students will have five days to complete the missed assignments and/or conference with teachers and schedule time to complete the work.

Absence From Class Due to Reasons Other Than Illness (e.g. athletic contests, extracurricular activities, artistic performances, etc.)

	Students who are in school for any part of the school day are required to submit all work due that day and record/collect all homework and class work.
	Students are expected to prepare for upcoming class assessments, including completing out-of-class assignments, for any missed classes or, at the discretion of the teacher, schedule time to complete work with the teacher.
	Students are expected to prepare themselves to participate in class activities and assessment upon return.

Absence From Class Due to Vacation

	Students are expected to request the vacation forms from the main office one week prior to the vacation.
	Students are expected to conference with their teachers to gather work to complete either before or during their vacation.
	All work assigned by teachers is expected no later than the second day upon return from the vacation.

Late Assessment Policy

	Long-term assessments will lose 10% credit for each school day the assignment is late.
	After ten school days, the assignment is worth zero points.

Late Homework Policy

No late homework will be accepted. Students will complete a Missed Assignment Form to turn in in lieu of missing homework.

	Second-chance learning is available to students who score less than a 70% on a major/summative assessment and who have completed the unit review sheet.
	An assessment score can be increased to a 70% through second chance learning. The second chance task may take the form of an alternate version of the assessment. The score from the second chance assessment will replace the score of the first assessment.
	Students choosing to take advantage of second chance learning to increase their proficiency must first complete the unit review activity, spend either Resource or after-school time with Mrs. Dorman for a re-teaching session, and review on their own. After completing these steps, students are eligible for a second chance assessment.
