Incompletes
All grades reported as incomplete must be removed within two weeks following the end of a grading period unless special
permission for an extension is granted by the building administration. An incomplete will be recorded as an “F” if it is not
removed within two weeks. It is the student’s responsibility to complete the work and hand it in to the instructor.

Attendance Policy:
MAKE-UP WORK: It is the responsibility of the student to manage his or her make-up work. You must get the
assignments, take the make-up tests etc. When possible, this can be done via your school email account. It is suggested
you do so before/after school or during SRB immediately returning to school. Do not expect your teachers to
automatically inform you and schedule your make-up work. You will be expected to use the course website when
applicable and other tools to avoid falling behind. The late-work policy from the student handbook appears below:
High School students who are absent for more than five (5) days of a block class during a school semester will not
receive credit for the course work without special extenuating circumstances and the recommendation of
exception from the principal. Students may request an appeal to the loss of credit through a committee of five
teachers selected by the student and the building principal.
The building Principal is granted the right to make exceptions to this minimum attendance standard in extraordinary cases. If a student reaches the absence limit and thus will potentially lose credit, he or she must
continue in the course until the end of a semester unless approved by the building administration. Students who
are permitted to withdraw with no credit will be assigned to the “CABIN” for the remainder of the semester.
The student is allowed (2) school days for make-up work for each excused absence.
