Late-Work Policy:
Formative Grades
If a student is absent, formative grades are due the class period immediately following the absence. If the absent is a planned, school related absence, the student's work is due on the original due date.
Students have five calendar days to submit late formative assignments for a score of up to a 70.
Late formative assignments will not be accepted after the due dates of correlating summative assignments have passed. (an outline for example, will not be accepted after its corresponding essay.)
Summative Grades
With few exceptions, summative assignments are due on time whether a student is present in class or not.
1 day late = loss of 10 points
2 days late = loss of 20 points
3-5 days late = loss of 30 points
More than 5 days late = maximum score of 50 if submitted by the end of the unit
