Each report card is based on the cumulative effect of all evaluations to date. All assignments should be handed in on time. Once the integrity of an assignment has been compromised (ie. solutions posted, results discussed) the evaluation is no longer valid and will not be accepted.
MISSED TEST POLICY: For any predictable absence from an evaluation (e.g. dentist appointment, sport event, etc), alternate arrangements must be made with the teacher PRIOR to the day of absence.
Any student missing an evaluation may be given a make-up assessment provided that the absence is considered legitimate by the teacher and that a note from the parent justifying the absence is given to the teacher on the first day that the student returns to school. If the absence is not considered legitimate or a note is not provided on time, the student may receive zero for the missed evaluation.
.
BOOKS: Students are responsible for the proper care and condition of the books and materials borrowed. It is expected that books and materials will be returned in the same condition that they were originally received. Students are held responsible for the cost of lost and damaged items.
ATTENDANCE: Regular attendance is an integral part of learning and evaluation in all areas. Irregular attendance may limit a student’s ability to earn a credit in a particular course. Students knowing they will be absent due to field trips and appointments must inform their teacher at least two classes in advance. It is a student’s responsibility to make up all the work missed during any absence.
