Classroom Procedures
  • All work must be ready to turn in at the end of class on the assigned due date unless your teacher tells you otherwise.  The following rules apply for late work:
  • Late Work:  Late work is anything turned in after the beginning of the period on the date the assignment is due.  If you turn in late work, you can only earn a MAXIMUM of half credit. Late work will only be accepted within two weeks of it being assigned.  Participation assignments (such as warm-ups and exit tickets) cannot be turned in late.
  • Absent Work:  If you are absent on the day an item is assigned, and it is due on the day of or before you return, you will be responsible for turning it in within the two days following your return.  Anything turned in after that will be considered LATE and can only earn a MAXIMUM of half credit. If you are absent on the day an item is due, you will be responsible for turning it in the day you return.  If you are absent, it is YOUR responsibility to obtaining missing work/notes. You can do so by asking a classmate and/or accessing Google Classroom.
All work turned in after the due date (Late or Absent) must be noted on the clipboard located on the counter in the front of class.

  • Tardy Policy - If you are not in the room when the tardy bell rings and you do not have a pass, you will be considered tardy.  For your first tardy, you will be given a verbal and documented warning. The second tardy will result in a STEP. Six STEPS would result in dismissal from the class for the remainder of the term with an F grade per Exeter Union High School policy.
