Key Policies
Absence Policy: (School Policy)
Attendance is important for success. Excessive absenteeism may make high level performance difficult and will probably impact your final grade.
In general work missed due to absence must be made up on the day of return or at the discretion of the teacher.
You are responsible for work missed. If you are absent, your study buddy is the first person you should call to find out what went on in class during your absence. Your study buddy will collect any handouts and other information for you while you are absent.
- Homework Policy:
You are expected to review current class work on a regular basis. This will make studying much easier.
Homework will be checked periodically. If homework is incomplete be prepared to phone your parent and explain the reason to them.
A surprise quiz on current work can be given at any time.
Testing Policy All tests are compulsory.
Administrative exemptions due to test conflicts will be dealt with on an individual basis.
If there is a conflict with a test date, it is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements with the teacher prior to the test date.
If insufficient summative evidence is available for proper evaluation of progress, the results of the relevant portions of the final evaluation may be substituted for missing items.

Submission of Late Assignments: (Board Policy)
Assignments are due at the beginning of class unless otherwise stated.
If a student submits assignments late, the teacher:
- Must document or track late submissions. Teachers may use the Missed or Late Assignment Student Contract.
- Must consult with the student and determine a plan of action to correct this behavior. Teachers may use a variety of methods for dealing with late and missed assignments.
- May contact the student’s parent/guardian.
- May need to inform Administration or school success team.
Teachers will use their professional judgment when extenuating circumstances arise.
If a student fails to submit a major assignment on time, the student will be given a new due date at the teacher’s discretion. The teacher may use the same assignment or modify the original one. Failure to submit the original/alternate assignment on the second due date may result in a mark of zero. |
Plagiarism: (Board Policy)
If it is determined that a student has plagiarized, the following will happen:
- The plagiarism will be reported to the school administration,
- The student will receive a mark of zero (0),
- The student will be provided an opportunity to resubmit the assignment,
- The first assignment will be recorded in Markbook© as a zero (0),
- The second assignment will also be recorded in Markbook© with the same weight,
- The parent/guardian will be notified and other consequences, including suspension, may be assigned.
