Make-up Work Policy

MAKE-UP WORK
Students will be provided the opportunity to request and complete make-up work for absences  and missed instruction.

Not all work, especially work that is participatory and contributive in nature, can be made up.  Alternative work may be provided for these activities at the teacher’s discretion.

Failure to request make-up work or to return completed make-up work will result in grade  reduction for that work for the purpose of classroom grading. Similarly, missing of work  that cannot, at the discretion of the teacher, be made up, will result in grade reduction for  that work for the purpose of classroom grading.

MAKE-UP WORK IS DEFINED AS:

1. Scheduled tests,OA#Amended#6)17)14# Page#14
2. Scheduled quizzes,
3. Homework assigned on the day the student is absent or missed instruction, and
4. A description of the topic(s) covered in class while the student was absent or  missed instruction and possible resources where the student can obtain information on the topic(s).

Teachers may require additional make-up work.

Make-up work need not be identical or equivalent to the work missed in the absence or  missed instruction period, but will ensure that the student has the opportunity to meet  academic standards.

Previously assigned work, that was due on the day the student was absent, is not  considered make-up work, and is due the day the student returns to school. In the  event of a pre-arranged absence assignments with a due date during the absence  assignments are due on or before the due date.

It is the student’s and/or parent/guardian responsibility to request make-up work on the day  the student returns to class.

Within two (2) school days of receiving the request, the teacher will provide the requested make-up work. Make-up for prearranged absences will only be given  when a student returns to school, not before or during.

It is also the student and/or parent/guardian responsibility to return the completed make-up  work within the designated deadline. Failure to do so will result in no credit being given.

Students will have a minimum of as many days/periods as they were absent to make up the  work unless other arrangements are made with the teacher. For example, if a student is  absent two (2) days/periods he/she will be given two (2) days/periods to make up the work.  The timeline for making up the work begins when the student receives the make-up  assignment from the teacher.
