Missing Assignments

Due to miscommunication about missing assignments or late work:
Please be advised that students missing assignments will be allowed two days to turn in assignments with a 10 point deduction for each day. After two days, a grade of zero will be recorded in the grade book. Grades of zero can only be made up during ancillary or academic detention with 70% being the highest possible earned score.

Academic detention will be held Mondays from 3:30 to 4:30 (Depending on teacher’s schedule). Students must make up missing assignments during ancillary or after school or receive a grade of zero for the assignments. Parents will be given at least 24 hour notice of academic detention as transportation will not be provided for students serving detention.


There must be a signed copy (from parent) attached to late assignments for credit.

FYI -
• A classroom teacher shall be required to assign a grade that reflects the
student’s relative mastery of an assignment;

• A classroom teacher shall not be required to assign a minimum grade for an
assignment without regard to the student’s quality of work; and

• A student shall be allowed a reasonable opportunity to make up or redo a class
assignment or examination for which the student received a failing grade.

Student grades will be determined by teacher evaluation of growth attained during the significant learning activities conducted by the teacher in a given reporting period. The teacher will take into consideration all available data in judging a student's achievement in relation to the grade or course-level objectives. The following indicators may be used (as appropriate) to verify that the student has mastered the required objectives in a subject area:

• Standardized test performance,

• Notebooks and other class work

• Projects,

• Performances,

• Observations,

• Teacher-made tests, and

• Term papers.

Students are graded as follows:



• 70-79 is awarded if the student shows evidence of demonstrating knowledge and skills.

80-100 is awarded if the student shows evidence of exceeding expectations toward demonstrating knowledge and skills.
