New Late Work Policy
The EHS Collaborative Decision Making Team has been working for several months to develop a new Late Work Policy. Learning is hindered if students rush to complete a lot of coursework at the end of a grading period. The new EHS Late Work Policy promotes the progression of learning, establishes clear and consistent expectations, and helps students develop time management and organizational skills.
The new policy will take effect during the second semester:
- Turned in: On or before the due date
Result: Full credit - Turned in: Late but within 10 school days of the due date
Result: Teacher can deduct up to 20% - Turned in: More than 10 school days after the due date
Result: Work will not be accepted
Notes:
- Teachers will notify parents if a student does not turn in an assignment by the due date. This notification will also specify the last date that the work will be accepted.
- Extenuating circumstances will be handled by a principal.
- Deadlines for students with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or 504 are outlined in the IEP/504 and will supersede this policy.
- Per board policy:
“Students shall have one attendance day, for each day absent, to complete make-up work. In the event of an absence exceeding one day, the student shall have a proportional number of attendance days to complete the make-up work.”
