Due dates for all assignments, tests, and projects are posted in the classroom, on the class website calendar, in Edmodo, and on a paper agenda distributed at the beginning of the unit of study. "I didn’t know it was due" IS NOT an excuse, therefore late work is accepted, but penalized. Once point penalties points have exceeded the point value of the assignment, the assignment will NOT be accepted for any credit.
Penalties Are As Follows: If the student is not prepared to present and/or submit a project on the due date, it will be penalized at the rate of 20 points per day in the gradebook until it is submitted. If the student absent on the day of a project and does not show an excused absence upon return, the late penalty will apply.
If the project is not submitted by the end of the quarter (if late penalties have not already been exceeded), it will be assigned a 0% grade in the grade book, and it will not be accepted afterwards. In Class and Online Assignments are penalized at the rate of 5 points per day, weekends and holidays apply.
Whatever assignments are not turned in at the end of the quarter are entered as zeros and may not be made up or submitted.
Extensions for assignments are possible if they have good cause or an unavoidable circumstance. Work, practice, games, “I fell asleep” or “I forgot” are NOT good causes or unavoidable circumstances.
