Assignments

In preparation for high school, most of this year’s academic and social responsibility will fall on the student’s shoulders.  All important dates (tests, quizzes, labs, projects, homework, etc.) will be written on the board in class, on Google Classroom, and posted on the Daily Log below.  You are expected to write these dates down at all times in your agenda.

The expectation is that all assignments will be handed in on time.  Late assignments may not receive full credit.  Work that is graded on effort alone (return of materials/ permission slips, assignments meant to practice skills/concepts, etc.) will not receive credit if submitted late.  Assignments will be deducted one letter grade per day late (up to five days) from the Accountability portion of that particular grade.  Students are responsible for notifying Ms DeHaan via email or a comment within Google Classroom indicating the assignment has been submitted.

Student Absences:

If a student is absent from class, it is their responsibility to check the Daily Log and complete any work missed.  

• Absences due to illness will be provided one day for each day absent, within reason.  Students who miss more than 3 days, should contact Ms. DeHaan via email so a realistic and manageable plan can be made.  Assignments with extended due dates (3 or more day notification) may not fit this perimeter; if there are questions, students should contact Ms.  DeHaan prior to any extended due date.  Due to the collaborative nature of our classroom, students are encouraged to review the Daily Log prior to returning to class to better help them assimilate back to their group.

• Absences due to vacation will follow the district policy that work will be provided upon return.  At that time, students are encouraged to conference with Ms. DeHaan to develop a realistic and manageable plan in completing make up work.
