Attendance Policy and Making Up Missed Assignments Absences of any kind can seriously affect a students’ grade. The tardy and attendance policies for CEC Middle College are in effect for this course.

Regardless of the type of absence, it is the student’s responsibility to find out what they missed and to make up any missed work. __________ (Student) ___________(Parent). Students are expected to check the first day of their return – this may not be the first day of their return to my class – for any missed work.

With some exceptions (noted in class at time of assignment), assignments will be accepted within the six-week period in which they were assigned. A penalty may be assessed for late work. ______________(Student) __________ (Parent)

The most serious penalty for late work is that a student may not be prepared for a test or be able to complete work on the following assignment and their grade will suffer. Whether an absence is excused or not, if the assignment is known to the student before their absence then it is due immediately upon their return. This includes the taking of tests and handing in homework. Upon their return, it is the responsibility of the student to hand in any work due. ____________(Student) ____________(Parent)

I will not allow a student to attend an excursion for another class if their grade is below a “C” in my class and students will not receive an extension on any assignment resulting from an absence due to an excursion. When a student is absent due to an excursion they MUST come in the VERY NEXT DAY and find out what they missed. For example: If a student is gone for an excursion on Monday and miss class they MUST come in on Tuesday to find out what they missed. Anything assigned on Monday will be due on Wednesday as assigned. Students will NOT receive an extension because of an absence resulting from an excursion. They are responsible on their return for any test, quiz, or assignment that occurs during their absence. It is the students’ responsibility to find out what they missed and be prepared for class upon their return. _______________ (Student) _______________(Parent)

It is through daily work and tests that a students’ academic work ethic is shaped. It is my goal that all students learn the skills necessary for success. The teacher retains absolute discretion in the grading process in order to achieve this goal. _________________(Student) ______________(Parent)

Late Work There are many assignments that will not be accepted late. They will be due on the date announced and they will not be accepted after that date. The student will receive a zero grade. These will be noted by the teacher and made clear to students. _____________ (Student) ____________(Parent)

Grading Your grade in this course will be determined by your performance on a variety of assignments. For tests only it is possible for students to raise an “F” grade to a “D” (passing). This will only be available when a student requests this opportunity. If a student chooses to not re-take a test then the “F” grade will remain in the grade book and will be factored into their final grade.

Each six-week grading period is separate and distinct from other six week grading periods. All work for that grading period must be completed during that grading period. The semester grade will be an average of the three six week grades. It is possible to receive an “F” in one six-week grading period and still pass the class. It is NOT possible to receive a poor grade in a six-week grading period and still receive an “A” for the semester.

Extra credit will be made available to all students at the discretion of the instructor. Extra credit cannot be used to raise a grade to an “A” or a “B”. These grades indicate continued, ongoing effort and excellence by a student and must be earned through daily work and effort. Extra credit can be used to raise a students’ grade up to a “C”.
