*****All long-term assignments are due and prescheduled tests must be completed on the date of return after an excused absence.( Refer to page 17 of handbook).


 MAKE- UP WORK: All work missed due to an absence must be made up. The responsibility for arranging to complete make-up work is to be assumed by the student and parent in conjunction with the teacher. Make-up work is to be completed in the allotted time specified for by the student handbook( refer to page 17). Make-up Test may be taken before school no earlier than 7:45am or directly after school. Per the student handbook, all long-standing assignments are due on the first day of return from an excused absence. Long term assignments not turned in on time due to an unexcused absence will not be accepted and will receive a zero.


All projects that are incomplete or not completed as directed will be considered late and not accepted.

All projects and the health notebook are considered long term assignments. If the student is on campus prior to leaving because of an illness that occurs at school and is sent home by the nurse then the due assignments must be turned in or will be considered late and not accepted. If the student is sent home by the nurse it is not considered excused for long term assignments. Finally, if the student has been assigned ISS and is on campus the day that a long term assignment is due, then the assignment must be turned in to the teacher at the beginning of the day or it will be considered late and unacceptable. ( Refer to page 21 of the handbook. )Lastly, any late pass from another teacher for a student who is tardy on the due date of any long term assignment will be considered unacceptable as well as late, resulting in a zero. Any excused tardy pass must come from the PPO OFFICE TO BE ACCEPTABLE.


***** The Health Notebook is required to be turned in by due date. There will be no late Health Notebooks accepted. They will need to contain all work pertaining to the class requirements and will receive a zero if missing more than 15% of the material. This is a long standing project which will be submitted for 5% of the final grade during the week of final exams. The notebook should be neat and sectioned out according to the table of contents. A typed cover page is required. Also, there should not be any other material in the Health notebook except for health related material. This means that no other classes material should be in the notebook when turned in at the end of the 9 weeks or it will be considered late, unacceptable and will receive a zero. It will be required to be turned in when the student walks into the room on the due date, or will be considered late as well as incomplete if not done so. This issue will also cause the student to receive a zero for the notebook.
