Due Dates:

Students will be given adequate time to complete each assignment. Unless specified otherwise and in writing, assignments will not be accepted late.

Make-up Work Policy:

Students are required to make-up all work missed during absences due to illness or family emergencies. If a student is absent, it is the student’s responsibility to seek out their missing work and ensure that it is completed.

Due to the amount of work it takes to complete some of the assignments, your attendance is essential to get the most out of your learning experience. If you are going to be absent or late, please have your parent or guardian call the school or bring in a note. Students who are absent will receive a Work Ethic grade of "0" for the day. If the absence is excused, the student will receive a Work Ethic grade of a "5" with an opportunity to make up the assignment and have their Work Ethic grade changed to a "10". Students who are late will receive a Work Ethic grade of a "5" for the day. If the lateness is excused, the student will receive a Work Ethic grade of a "5" with an opportunity to make up the assignment and have their Work Ethic grade changed to a "10".

Every student must complete a Senior Portfolio.  Portfolios will be created by following the sequence of grade-level assignments. Senior Portfolio artifacts will be graded per program expectations and assignment criteria and be included in the marking period grade for which the assignment is due. Portfolios will be housed in their Google Drive. Students will be able to take the portfolios with them or have access to them after graduation.
