Late Work
|
-
The RMHS English Department expects all assignments to be turned in on time.
-
ALL assignments will incorporate a responsibility component and a level of mastery score.
-
Students may turn in late and missing assignments in order to earn credit and have teachers evaluate their skill, progress, and mastery.
-
All late work/makeup work must have a teacher- created cover sheet explaining why the assignment is being turned in after the due date
-
Two week cut-off for ALL late work
-
Re-do/revisions will not be subject to the 2 week late work cut-off, but MUST be done within the quarter it was originally assigned
-
Late-work will not be accepted for re-do/revisions UNLESS it is a Summative Assignment
|
Revisions & Redos
|
-
May be teacher assigned OR student requested
-
Work will follow the same procedures and requirements as late work/makeup work.
-
Student's request must be within a reasonable amount of time and in order to correct a misunderstanding or better reflect ability on the skill(s) being assessed.
|
Policy Exceptions
|
To be fair and equitable and to allow students to improve skills, teachers will use their discretion in making exceptions to the late work/make-up work and re-do policies for individual students and/or circumstances.
