Students can only make-up missed participation points for cleared or excused absences. Extra credit will be limited. Students can redeem “vouchers” that the end of each quarter. Each student receives 4 vouchers at the beginning of each quarter that can either be used as a hall pass or as a “Late-work” pass that will void the 50% deduction. If these vouchers are not used by the end of the quarter, extra credit will be awarded. Late Work Policy: Any assignment turned in after grading is late.. Any late work turned in without a free pass will be deducted 50%.
