Mrs. Cleghorn Jenkins 9th Absentee Policy Late / Incomplete Work Biology 9th Mrs. Cleghorn Jenkins 2016-2017 Late / Incomplete Work Absentee Policy 2016-2017 * YES, WE DID SOMETHING IMPORTANT WHILE YOU WERE ABSENT. It is the student’s responsibility to check the class folder, class website Google Classroom, or talk/contact the teacher to find any assignments missed. A student has three extra days to turn in any work or test assigned on a day a student was absent. If previously assigned work was due on the day of the absence, the work is due on the first day the student returns. A student must schedule a time within three days. Test will NOT be made up during class! Test/quizzes must be scheduled to take before school or during 5th period. Students will have three days upon returning to make up a test or quiz. My expectation is that ALL assignments be completed to a high level of proficiency (100%) and turned in on time. If an assignment is turned in and proficiency is not demonstrated, the assignment or test will NOT be returned to the student and the work will NOT be given back for a re-do. Late work will not be taken after the due date. See the absentee policy for days or assignments missed. * Printer and Internet issues are not an excuse for late work. Take advantage of the resources available at the school. Chromebooks will be used daily in this classroom. The majority of class assignments, projects, and assessments will be completed digitally through the Google Classroom or other online resources. Students are expected to abide by all school and district digital safety rules and guidelines. Failure to do so will result the student will be banned from technology while in this classroom and given alternate assignments. If a student does not have internet access at home it is the responsibility of the student to inform the teacher so alternative assignments can be provided. Google Classroom Code: q68189h Technology Plagiarism Cheating * The teacher will notify the administration and contact parents if cheating / plagiarism is suspected. * The student will be given a zero for that particular test or assignment. * The student will receive a minimum of three demerits. Plagiarism is the taking ideas and writings of another and passing them off as one’s own. In this class, plagiarism includes... 1. turning in another’s work as one’s own 2. copying work from a friend before class (or while in another class) Students caught plagiarizing will be given a ZERO for the assignment.
