Absences
What happens if I miss a day of class?
Life happens! If you are absent from class, it is your responsibility to check Schoology for assignments and activities that you missed. You will have a happier teacher if you check Schoology ahead of time, instead of coming back to class after an absence and asking, “What did I miss?”
Will late work earn credit?
Late Ignites will earn partial credit. After two days, Ignites may be “locked” and no credit may be earned.
Late homework will earn partial credit until the date of the related unit test.
Late labs can earn full credit until the date of the related unit test. However, in special cases it may be necessary to complete an alternate lab to earn a grade.
If you miss an assignment due to an absence, please speak with Mr. Jones about the due date for that assignment, including tests and labs.
The date of a unit test is generally the deadline for completing all of the assignments of a unit. After this date, no credit will be earned for the assignments of a unit. This includes labs, formative assessments, and homework. Absences, especially extended absences, may affect this deadline.
