should use professional judgment to align strategies and equitable opportunities for students
to complete work considering extenuating circumstances, etc.

completed assignments by the due date. These opportunities may include but are not limited
to:
Lunch study sessions
Before/after school study sessions
Major Grades (examples of major grades are listed on 16-4)
If students do not submit work on time, teachers must begin intervention strategies to
assist students in completing the assignment. Strategies must be aligned to individual
campus strategies.
Students may submit late work with ten points deducted for each day after the due date.
After the third school day the highest grade will be a 70.
Teachers/departments have the option to extend the deadline or date to accept late work
beyond the third day for a maximum of 70 points possible.
Administrative interventions will be employed for students who do not demonstrate
reasonable effort in the completion of major assignments.
Daily Work
Students are expected to complete daily assignments.
If students do not complete daily work, then teachers must use the appropriate
interventions to help students practice and demonstrate mastery of skills.
Teachers must begin intervention strategies to assist students in completing the
assignment. Strategies must be aligned to individual campus strategies.

Homework
Students are expected to complete homework. Students who come to class without
homework will complete the assignment according to the school’s system for
completing work.
Opportunities to complete homework include but are not limited to the following
options:
1. complete the work in after school tutoring/study session
2. complete the work at home to turn in the next day for minus 10 points.
8. Make-up Work
Work assigned on the day of an excused absence must be completed and given to the
teacher. It is the responsibility of the teacher to provide make-up work when the
student returns to class. The student is expected to complete and submit the make-up
work.
No penalty is to be attached to make-up work turned in within three school days of
returning to class for any absence.
For extended absences of more than three school days, special arrangements need to
be made with the teacher for makeup work.
When students are absent for several days, the school will help in getting assignments from
teachers. Parents will need to call a day in advance to make these arrangements.
