Is late work accepted?

No. Work is only accepted the day it is due. Any late work is an automatic
zero. The exception to this policy is, of course, work that is late because of
absences.

How much of my average will tests be?

Tests are 60% of the nine week average. Daily work makes up the other 40%.

Can I take a re-test or improve a low test grade?

There are no re-tests or test corrections. Test grades are final. It is so
important to be prepared on test days!!!

Will extra credit be available?

Extra credit is rarely offered, but when it is, it is offered to EVERYONE at
certain times during the year. Extra points are never made available to a
single student.

How do Semester Exams affect my final grade?

Semester exams are worth 20% of the SEMESTER average. They are NOT calculated
into the Nine Week averages. 
Example:
   First nine weeks average = 85
   Second nine weeks average = 90
   Semester Exam = 80
   SEMESTER AVERAGE = (85 + 85 + 90 + 90 + 80)/5 = 86

How much time do I have to make up my work when I'm absent?

School policy states that you have the number of days you were absent (plus
one) to turn in make up work. The most important thing is to talk with your
teachers and let them know when you expect to turn it in!

When are assignments due?

Daily work (worksheets, journals, labs, etc.) is always due the day after it
is assigned, unless otherwise noted on our calendar or agenda.
