Students are expected to take the initiative in planning such a time and students should do so no longer than the second day following their absence. Long term assignments or artworks are due on the date announced regardless of the absences. LATE WORK: Late work is not the same as Work Not Handed In It is the student s responsibility to communicate with the teacher prior to the due date The teacher will approve a new due date. If the work is not turned in by the new due date it will be treated as Work Not Handed In. The student will have the opportunity to work on the assignment at home, during FLEX, or for 30 minutes after school if the teacher s schedule allows, while continuing to proceed with the rest of the class. WORK NOT HANDED IN: Must be turned in at the beginning of the next class and will be assessed a 10% grade reduction as a consequence. Work turned in any later will be graded at 50%. Excuses such as I forgot my camera, My camera was out of batteries, I did not have time to do the assignment, I could not get a camera to check out are NOT valid. If you need to check out a camera from school, make sure you do it well ahead of the due date. SECOND CHANCE LEARNING: Second chance learning is not meant to be used as a substitute for effort on regular assignments, but rather as a safety net. Students will have one opportunity to redo/retake assignments at the teacher s discretion. To qualify, students must have submitted the original assignment by the due date. Students must arrange for remediation during the next available FLEX after the assignment was returned. Students must submit the revised assignment, along with the Second Chance Learning Reflection Form, within ten days following the return of the original assignment. The higher grade shall be the grade of record. Formative assignments may are not eligible for second chance learning after the end of the unit of study.

Summative unit assessments and final marking period or semester assessments are not eligible for second chance learning. No second chance learning will be accepted during the last week of the grading period. Students may request to come to FLEX to work on assignments or meet with the teacher at any time.

I will pay for any repairs needed, due to negligence, when the equipment is in my son or daughter s control.

I understand that my son or daughter s grades, transcript and diploma will be held until this debt is paid. If lost or broken, REPLACEMENT OF EQUIPMENT IS PREFERED!!! Please remember if equipment is lost or damaged, it also affects the other students in the program as well, as there will be one less piece of equipment for them to use this year, and we never seem to have enough cameras for all the students who need them. Immediate replacement allows the camera to be back in circulation this school year. Replacements can be bought from stores such as Amazon.com, bhphoto.com, or Best Buy. Amazon usually has the best prices.
