QUARTER 3 ASSIGNMENT CALENDAR 2021
HOMEWORK:
Homework may be assigned daily and is due at the beginning of each class period. Most homework assignments include reading from novels, drafting/publishing writing assignments, grammar practice, vocabulary practice, and/or test preparation. Homework assignments are an expectation per ACP policy. Extra credit does not exist.
LATE/MISSING ASSIGNMENTS:
- Students will receive full credit on assignments that are completed and submitted by the assigned due date.
- Late assignments turned in within 24 hours of the due date will receive a 20% grade deduction.
- Late assignments turned in 24 hours after the original due date and up to 1 week from that date will receive a 50% grade deduction.
- No credit will be given for assignments turned in more than 1 week from the original due date.
MAKE UP WORK:
It is the student’s responsibility to collect all missed work following an absence. Per district policy, students have the same number of school days they were absent to complete and turn in missing work. This does not apply to long-term projects and writing assignments. Students must turn in long-term projects and writing assignments on the day they are due to turnitin.com and are expected to turn in a printed copy to the teacher upon returning to class (extenuating circumstances will be dealt with on an individual basis.)
Tests – If a test is missed due to an absence, students have 1 week to schedule a make-up test. Various testing times will be offered throughout the week for the test make-up. If a make-up test is not scheduled within a week, the grade for the test will be recorded as a “zero”.
Finally, it is imperative to keep the line of communication open. We (the student, parent, and teacher) are teammates in this process of education and must work together. Please check Infinite Campus frequently to monitor your child’s progress. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
HEALTH PROTOCOL CLASSROOM: Students need to contact Ms. Wines to receive the link and password for the Health Protocol Classroom. All materials are available in Google Classroom under the tab for the date. If a student needs to turn in work, they need to scan and email it to me at wines.theresa@cusd80.com to keep up with their work if there is an extended absence. Below, you will find the Assignment Calendar with DUE DATES & ASSIGNED MATERIALS.
