2. The following legend must be used by all teachers:

REC (the work has been received, but not graded)

0 (the use of a zero is only for work not received)

ABS (absent and not able to hand in work, which will be changed to a zero after two days for each day absent)

I (Incomplete due to lack of work completion IA (Incomplete due to absence Ex (Excused from assignment)

Late / RedoLate / RedoLate work or a need for redo will result in a lunch time work sessionStudents will earn no more than an 80 for late/redo work; teacher discretion for redo on tests/quizzes/projects if grade is between 70-80Homework is not subject to the late/redo policyParents should be contacted for repeated late/redo issues

Late / Redo (cont.)Late / Redo (cont.) Work not handed in or redone by the

end of the quarter will result in a quarter grade of Incomplete (I).› Students will have two weeks to

complete missing work or redo failing assignments

› After two weeks if work is not handed in, the grade of “0” will remain and the quarter grade will be calculated with the “0’s”. If the quarter grade falls below 50, the quarter grade will be a 50.

Late / Redo Late / Redo Discipline IssuesDiscipline Issues

Students who make no effort on a test or assignment will be allowed a redo following a re-teaching opportunity but will also be written up for discipline purposes.

Consistent failure to complete/redo work that has not improved with parent contact will result in the development of an improvement plan. Administration, parents, student, teacher and guidance will be involved in the plan. The building principal will schedule the meeting.

or need to redo work will have a structured lunch/work time.
