Absence Policy
You are responsible for all make-up work due to an absence. The needed notes and assignments will be on Google Classroom. It is your responsibility to review this information and ask any questions necessary.
If absent on a review day before a quiz or test, you will be required to take the quiz or test on the scheduled day.
ReTest Procedure
When a student makes a 69 or below on any test or project, the student will be given the opportunity to retest or modify the project.
The student is encouraged to attend and/or request a teacher-facilitated tutorial to review the concepts/objectives that the student did not master before taking a retest or modifying a project
The highest grade the student can earn on a retest/redo is a 70.
The opportunity to retest or redo a project will be arranged by the teacher. The teacher will administer the retest at a time determined by the teacher and communicated to the student.
Retests will be administered before or after school in the classroom. Arrangements for transportation must be made with a parent/guardian.
When a grade is impacted due to academic honesty, the student is not eligible for retesting.
