Absences and Make-Up Work

Your FIRST place to check for any work you missed is my blog! 

Handouts and other copies distributed in your absence can be found in the homework/handout box.

Weekly lesson plans are posted on the blog. Check this to see what you missed. I update my blog often.

You have one day for each day absent to make up work. After that, it will follow the late grading policy.

It is the student’s responsibility to get and complete make-up work!

Guidelines for typed writing assignments:

White Oak High School Grading Procedures

  • In English, daily grades count 40% of your total quarter grade. You will receive full credit when work is turned in complete and on-time.  Late work received one day past the due date will receive a grade no higher than a 70.  Late work received two days past the due date will receive a grade no higher than a 50. No late work will be accepted for credit 3 days or longer after the due date.  This is a school-wide policy.
  • In English, each major grade counts 60% of your total quarter grade. If a student submits a late major project, essay, or other assignment that counts as a test grade, 20 points will be deducted from the major grade for each day it is late.

Cheating

  • Cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated. You will receive a zero on the assignment or test and a possible office referral.
  • Unattributed use of AI-generated content, over-reliance on AI for your work, or using AI to avoid reading or analysis will be considered violations of our academic integrity policy.In order to verify that you have genuinely learned from the assignment and have not resorted to using AI or cheating you should be able to discuss the topic verbally and demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of anything submitted.
