It is the student’s responsibility to collect and turn in assignments missed due to an absence. All assignments will be posted to Google Classroom the day they are done in class. The student will have one class period per period missed to get make-up assignments completed and turned in. (Ex: 3 class days missed = 3 class days until assignments are due). If you are absent on the day of a test/project, you will be expected to take the test the day you return. School-related absences require that students arrange for his/her work in advance of the absence. 10 points will be dedcuted each day the assignment is late. Student will have 2 weeks to turn in late work with a max grade of %80.

Therefore, soft skills (such as punctuality, professionalism, personal presentation, and effective communication) are critical for student development and are essential to our courses of study and will be implemented into our grading policies. Please refer to TEK §130.55 C.1. to see how these skills apply to our course.
