Quiz, Test, Exam, and Assignment Policy

The most important implication of attendance is the academic work a student misses when he/she is not present in school.

Quiz, Test, Exam, and Assignments

Students are expected to be in class on the day of a scheduled quiz, test, exam, and/or when an assignment is due.

  1. For excused/verified absences only, make up work will be treated as follows - work will be due no later than the day the student returns from the absence.
  2. If a students is ill and not at school on the day of a test, she/he is expected to see the teacher upon return, as early in the day as possible to make arrangements to write the test. It may be required that she/he write the day of his/her return.
  3. If a student has been ill and has missed several classes prior to a test, she/he should see the teacher and establish a date to write the test.
  4. If a student signs out before a test is written or a project or an assignment is to be handed in, she/he must see the subject teacher before leaving the school to make arrangements for writing the test at a later time.
  5. If a student misses a test for a legitimate yet unexpected reason but arrives to school later in the day, she/he is required to see the teacher that day to arrange to write the test. The student may be expected to write the test the same day.
  6. Students are expected to hand in all homework and/or assignments on the specified due dates. A due date still applies to a student who is absent for the class but present at school during any part of the day. Due-dates and times will be discussed in class for each individual assignment.
  7. If a student is suspended in-school or out-of-school, arrangements must be made, with a fellow student or a parent/guardian, to have assignments and or projects which are due during the period of the suspension, handed in to the office on time. If a student misses a test during the period of the suspension, he/she is expected to see the teacher immediately upon return, as early in the day as possible, to make arrangements to write the test.
  8. If a student misses a quiz/test during the suspension period, and, if the tests have been returned to students in the class before the student returns from his/her suspension, the teacher is not obligated to have him/her re-write the test. A "no mark" can be issued for that quiz/test.

A mark of zero may be given if any of the above are not adhered to. Any missed quiz, test, exam, and/or assignment may be subject to a late penalty for tardiness and/or a mark of zero.
