Fostering Student Responsibility
When a student not meet the arranged deadline for an assignment, it becomes that student’s responsibility to develop an alternate way to demonstrate mastery on that standard and propose it to the teacher. There is a planning sheet to propose their alternative to the teacher that will be approved or revised and returned to allow for students to move forward. If a student misses the deadline for their make-up assignment, the assignment will no longer be accepted. This will be at the teacher’s discretion. If it is more beneficial for the student to submit the late assignment, that can be arranged with the student as well.
Should a student be absent from school they receive one additional day per absent day to make up their work. For example, if a student misses school on Friday, they will have Monday to get their missing work and/or ask for support from a teacher and then will need to turn their work in during the class on Tuesday. Students should work directly with the teacher to ensure they understand their new deadlines. For pre-planned and extended absences, please ensure that you give prior notice to the attendance office and teachers.
