  Exam Make-up

Following an absence, it is the student’s responsibility to contact his/her teachers to arrange for make-up work. The contact must be made within one school day of returning. If the teacher is absent, contact should be made upon the first day of the teacher ’s return.

Students are given the same number of days to complete make-up work, as the absence, not including the day of return. For instance, a student is absent two days, he/she has two days (not including the day of return) to complete the assignments. The teacher will establish a reasonable schedule for completing tests, labs, etc. that cannot be done independently by the student.

Assignments made prior to the absence, including tests/quizzes scheduled for the day of return, are generally due upon the student’s return. Students who are present for any portion of the school day are expected to turn in all assignments due on that day in order to receive full credit.

Failure to complete make-up work within the designated time frame may result in a grade reduction or loss of credit for the assignment.

Students are allowed to make up work due to an unexcused absence and will receive a maximum grade of 80%.

Assignments missed due to pre-arranged absences are due upon the student’s return unless the teacher has approved other arrangements in advance.

Requesting Assignments for Extended Absences
If it is expected that a student will be absent three or more days, regardless of reason, parents/students should contact the teachers directly using the email link at www.northviewhigh.com < http://www.northviewhigh.com/ >  to request assignments.   Any material that cannot be forwarded electronically from the teacher to the parent/student will be available for pick-up in the front office at the end of the following day.

Make-Up of Exams
Make-up work procedures do not include final exams. In the event a student is ill on an exam day, a parent/guardian must call the attendance office (770-497-3828) in order for the absence to be considered as excused. Pre-arranged absences will not be granted during final exams except in cases of very unusual circumstances. Requests for pre-approved absences during exam days must be submitted in writing to the principal.

If a student is absent from a final exam, the teacher will calculate the final grade counting the exam as a zero. Upon make-up of the exam, the teacher will calculate and submit a revised grade. Incomplete grades will not be given.

No exams will be administered prior to the scheduled time. Teachers are not authorized to give early exams.
