For Grades 4 and up:
NEW LATE WORK POLICY – To provide our students with consistency between the
different grade levels, from Grade 4-12, the school has adopted a new policy
for late work that goes into effect on January 7, 2014, as follows:
LATE WORK POLICY FOR GRADES 4-12
Beginning in
January 2014, the following will be in effect for all students in Grades
4-12:
For Grades 6-12 - To be regarded on time, work must be submitted to the teacher
before 8:00 a.m. on the day that it is due. This has proven to be
effective in preventing students from copying homework from another student
during the day.
For All Classes in Grades 4-12:
Due Date: 100% of
grade (work must be complete and correctly done)
1 Day Late: 70%
of grade
2 Days Late: 0 credit
Long-term Assignments (made
at least 2 weeks in advance) are due the day of your return from an excused
absence
Free Pass: The
teacher may give each student one late pass per quarter, at the teacher's
discretion. This would allow for the work to be turned in 1 day late (complete
and correctly done) for full credit. If the assignment is 2 days late, it would
receive 70% credit. If it is 3 days late, there would be no credit.
Mandatory Completion of Work: In order to ensure that the student does not miss
essential knowledge and skills, the teacher may require that the student
complete an assignment even if s/he will receive no credit.
Excused Absence:
One day to submit make-up work is allowed for each day that was missed. If
turned in after that period of time, the above guidelines apply.

PASSING GRADE ACCORDING TO THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION - We would like to remind parents that the passing grade,
according to new regulations, is 70% for the Ministry of Education. Your child
needs to score at least 70% in order to avoid coming to recuperation exam/s. We
encourage you to check blogs and Engrade on a weekly basis, and to keep close
communications with teachers.
THIS IS WHAT WE WILL BE COVERING DURING THE WEEK.
A new
IXL username and password was provided several weeks ago. Students will now
