Late Work/Tutorials
Absentee Policy
* YES, WE DID SOMETHING IMPORTANT WHILE YOU WERE ABSENT.
* It is the student’s responsibility to check the absent work folders for the day(s) absent for assignments missed. If there is no work in the folder, the student needs to seek out Mrs. Gilliland to make sure there is no make up work.
* A student has the same number of days to turn in missed assignments as the number of days they were 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.
Students will receive 10 points off for each day late.
Students have up to three days from the assigned due date to turn in a late assignment.
After three days of not turning in an assignment, the student receives a zero.
Tutorials are offered every day except, Wednesday,
from 2:50 – 3:15.
Mrs. Gilliland does tutorials on Tuesday’s
Tutorials are offered during homeroom with Mrs. Gilliland as long as the student obtained a pass prior to that day.
Technology
Asus or Dell tablets will be used daily in ELAR. The majority of class assignments, projects, and assessments will be assigned through Google Classroom. Some assignments will be completed on notebook paper or their journal as well. Each class period will have their own Google Classroom code. Students are expected to abide by all school and district digital safety rules and guidelines. Failure to do so will result in consequences established by Willis ISD.
