Late Work Policy: Work is expected to be turned in on time. To prepare students for college, I take late work
only ONE (!!!!) day after the assignment is due, for half credit.

Make Up Work Policy: If you are working on an assignment that was given before your absence, and was due
during your absence, you are expected to turn in the same day you return to school.

If you were not in school when the assignment was given, you may turn it in later. For homework you have
two days upon your return to make it up, projects are due on date given (case by case basis).

If you miss a quiz or test that was pre-scheduled, you are expected to be prepared make up the quiz or test
the day you return during SMART lunch unless previously arranged with me. You are expected to use SMARTLunch time to make-up work, tests and quizzes. Failure to do so will result in a zero for the assignment. If you
are in class when the assignment was given, and in class the day it is due, you are not given any additional
time for the assignment because of absences between those two dates.
