District Make-up Policy
The MCHS Student Handbook defines make-up work as work assigned while a student was absent. For every day of absence, students will have two days to submit missing work for every day of absence.
Students are required to contact their teachers, immediately upon their return to school, regarding make-up work (activities, classroom assignments, assessments,etc.). Student and teacher should determine an agreed upon due date for submitting work. All missing work should be submitted within no more than 7 school days (from original absence). It should be understood that some work, such as labs, oral presentations, class discussions, cannot be replicated. After 7 school days it will be up to the teacher’s discretion on allowing make-up work.
For truancy and class cuts, students will not be permitted to earn points for any work completed in or out of class that falls in the behavioral/compliance categories. They may, however, earn points for any missed academic assessments/assignments.
Missing Work Timeline
Late work is defined as work that was not submitted while a student was present in class. Students will receive a zero in the gradebook until the work is turned in (maximum of 7 days).
Missing work due to a cut or unexcused absence requires a conversation with the teacher. Acceptance of the work is up to the teacher’s discretion.
