Homework Policy No late homework accepted Make-up work: Students are responsible for making up work due to an absence. The allowed time is equal to the number of days absent. In other words, if a student misses one day, then s/he has one day to make up the work. Students are responsible for finding out about missed work via the 7A website. Finally, students are also responsible for showing completed make-up work to the teacher so it can be graded accordingly.
