Per AACPS regulation, students may redo up to 4 assessments and/or assignments each quarter. Students are encouraged, but not
required, to participate in teacher-led re-teaching. All redo items must be completed within ten days of receiving the original grade
and may only be redone one time. The higher of the two grades will be used for calculating the student’s quarter grade. The teacher
may choose to have the student redo all of an assessment or assignment or may have student only redo specific items or parts of the
work. Students may not redo homework, the quarterly assessment, or a large project. However, students may redo parts of a large
project, if graded separately by the teacher, with each part counting as a separate redo. Assessments or assignments due in the last
week of the quarter are not eligible
Students are expected to submit assignments on the date that they are due. Students are expected to complete assignments, in
full, to the best of his/her ability and students should take advantage of tutoring and re-teaching opportunities so that the student
can submit his/her best work. Late assignments are penalized 10% for each day it is late up until five school days (not A/B days).
After five school days, the assignment becomes a zero and may not be submitted for a grade.
Make-up Work & Non Participation Policy
Teachers shall assign a minimum grade of 50% to assignments or assessments for which the student made a good faith effort, as
determined by the teacher, to meet the basic requirements. If a student does no work on an assignment or assessment, the
teacher shall assign a grade of zero.
When a student is absent, it is the student’s responsibility to get the make-up work. The student will be allotted the same number
of days equal to the number of days absent to make-up work.
