LATE WORK
POLICY FOR GRADES 4-12
Beginning in January 2014, the
following will be in effect for all teachers in Grades 4-12:
To be regarded on time,
work must be submitted to the
teacher before 8:00 a.m. on the day that it is due (for Grades 6-10). This
has proven to be effective in preventing students from copying homework from
another student during the day.
Due Date: 100% of grade (work must be complete and correctly done)
1 Day Late: 70% of grade
2 Days Late: 0 credit
Long-term Assignments (made at least 2 weeks in advance) are due
the day of your return from an excused absence
Free Pass: The teacher may give each student one
late pass per quarter, at the teacher's discretion. This would allow for the
work to be turned in 1 day late (complete and correctly done) for full credit.
If the assignment is 2 days late, it would receive 70% credit. If it is 3 days
late, there would be no credit.
Mandatory Completion of
Work: In order to
ensure that the student does not miss essential knowledge and skills, the
teacher may require that the student complete an assignment even if it will
receive no credit.
Excused Absence: One day to submit make-up work is
allowed for each day that was missed. If turned in after that period of time,
the above guidelines apply.
