Late and Missed Assignment Policy

Students are responsible not only for their behaviour in the classroom and the school but also for providing evidence of their achievement of the overall expectations during the time specified by the teacher. It is expected that students are proactive in communicating with their teachers ahead of time if they are unable to meet deadlines. Should a deadline not be met, the teacher will follow, according to their professional judgement, some or all of the following courses of action:

-  Communicating with parents about due dates and scheduling an appointment with the parents if the problem persists

-  Reviewing the need for extra support for English language learners and for students with SSPs

-  Asking the student to complete the assignment at lunch time or after school

-  Setting up a student contract outlining student specific responsibilities and consequences regarding late submissions

-  Deducting marks up to and including the full value of the assignment (giving the assignment a mark of zero)

This policy was designed to ensure that teachers can best support the ongoing learning of each and every student.
