Academic Integrity
Your name (whether signed, written, printed, or typed) on any work submitted is your pledge that you have neither given nor received any unauthorized help on the work. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. If you are caught being dishonest you will receive a zero and your parents will be notified.
Due Dates
These assigned dates are extremely important. They indicate your willingness to get the job done on time. Therefore, all late work will receive a 5 point per day deduction and work not made up will count as a zero. Schedule your time wisely!
Make-up work
When you are absent, it is YOUR responsibility to find out what was missed. Please check class website (edu2.0) for your work and assignments. Do not accept “nothing” as an answer from your classmates when you ask what we did. You will have the number of days you were absent plus one additional day to make-up any missed work without penalty.
Attendance Policy
Students are expected to be present for each class. Students that miss more than 8 days are required to make up these days, minute for minute. A ‘Recovery Timesheet’ is available in the office and must be given to the teacher to complete. It is the student’s responsibility to get this form and have it completed, detailing absences over 8 days and when and where the time is made up.
