Late Work
Students are entitled and expected to make up work missed due to absences. It is the students
responsibility to find out what they have missed and make up the work. Please discuss with your teacher
the day after the absence to discuss your options.
If you choose to not submit your assignments by the due date, you will lose 25 points or the equivalent of
your graded assignment.
Late assignments will not be accepted two (2) weeks after the due date.

Projects
Projects are larger assignments that are given weeks before they are due and students are given ample time to turn
them in early or on time. Often, time will be allotted in class time for students to begin to work on the project.

For this reason, students will not be able to turn in projects in after the due date. However, when extenuating
circumstances arise students may be permitted to make arrangements prior to the due date to turn the project in at
a later time. Arrangements for an extension cannot be made after the original due date has passed.

Google Classroom
Throughout the marking period, Google Classroom will be used to assist with assignment collection,
announcements, and general classroom. All students will be expected to register for the class and understand that
it is their responsibility to check in on classroom. It is not my belief to post an assignment without letting the
students know about it or sending a remind to let them know.
