Absences

Late Work Policy

When students are absent it is their responsibility to check Google Classroom for missed work. It’s the student’s responsibility to see the teacher by the next class period regarding missed assignments.

​

​

Middle school students will receive the following credit for late assignments:

• 1 class period late a student can receive up to 80% credit for late assignments.
• 2 class periods late a student can receive up to 60% credit for late assignments.
• 3 class periods or greater late a student will receive 0% credit for late assignments.

If a student missed a test during an absence, he/she will have two class periods to make it up or make other arrangements. If not made up in the given time period, the student will receive a zero.

​

Homework checked in class will NOT be accepted late.

Chromebook and Technology Usage

• Middle school students are responsible for bringing their fully charged district issued Chromebook to school everyday.

​

• If a middle school student comes to school without their Chromebook, the student will report to the library before 8:30 to check out a loaner Chromebook for the day and will receive a minor behavior infraction for not bringing their Chromebook to school.

• If a middle school student comes to school with an uncharged Chromebook, the student will be allowed to charge their Chromebook in class and will receive a minor-behavior infraction for not having their Chromebook charged.

​

• Students will receive after-school detention once they receive 5 minor-behavior infractions.

​

​

Failure to follow expectations will result in a loss of privilege.

Set up a chromebook charging station with your backpack at home.
