Make-Up Work Policy
It is vital to teach our young adults the importance of being responsible and having a good work ethic. One means of teaching these qualities entails our asking students to complete missed assignments. Because we have high expectations for all learners, we encourage them to submit missed assignments according to the following guidelines:
| Number of Days Missed |
Days to Make Up Work |
| 1-2 |
2 |
| 3 |
3 |
| 4 |
4 |
| 5 or more |
5 |
If student neglect to submit missed assignments, they will receive a grade of "0" for the assignments. We suggest that upon returning to school, students should ask their teachers to provide them with a list of their make-up work. In addition, students and parents may check the teachers' e-Chalk pages to see when they are available for extra tutoring. Finally, we encourage you to contact the teacher to set up a time for the students to receive the extra help they need.
