Progress reports will go out every third week and report cards every six weeks.
You are required to have 12 assignment grades and 4 test grades

Make-Up Work:
Excused Absence-Students will be allowed to make up work missed due to any excused absence. The time allotted will be equal to one day per each day of absence. For example, a student absent for five (5) days will be allotted 5 days to complete the missed assignment. It is the student’s responsibility to inquire about work missed during the absence.
Unexcused Absence-Make-up work/tests after an unexcused absence shall receive a maximum grade of 70. The time allotted will be equal to one day per each day of absence.
Homework Policy: Designated days for science homework will be Monday. Parents, I am asking that you help encourage your child to set aside time every Monday to work on their assigned homework.
Absences: It is your responsibility to ask for any work missed if you are absent. For every day that you are absent, you are given those many days to make up the assignments. If your absence is excused you can earn full credit for that assignment & if it is unexcused you can only earn up to 70% credit.
