Ms. LeDoux 8C Late / Incomplete Work Absentee Policy 2016-2017 ELA 8C Ms. LeDoux 2018-2019 Late / Incomplete Work Absentee Policy 2016-2017 * My expectation is that ALL assignments be completed to a level of proficiency (75% or higher) and turned in on time. If an assignment is turned in and effort is apparent but proficiency is not demonstrated, the assignment can be reviewed, redone, and resubmitted for a higher grade. Late work will be accepted with a 10 point deduction from the final grade.  *Students have one week to turn in missing work after progress reports, After one week, the work will no longer be accepted. It is the student’s responsibility to check the make-up work folders to find any assignments missed. * A student has five to turn in any work assigned on a day a student was absent. If a quiz was administered on a day a student was absent, the quiz must be made up on the first day the student returns. If previously assigned work was due on the day of the absence, the work is due on the first day the student returns. Computer Use: Students are to use their student log-ins while using the computers and are to abide by the technology policies and rules as agreed upon by the student and parent/guardian(s) in the student handbook.
