Homework Policy

You will have homework every time you have Spanish. Assignments are to be complete when you come to class the following day. If an assignment is late or incomplete, you will have one day to complete it

and the maximum grade will be 80%. Assignments over one day late will receive 50%.

Make-up Work (As per students’ handbook)

If a student is absent from school, all work must be made up. It is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements to get all past assignments. Parents may request work when a student is absent, for two days or more; 24 hours advance notice is needed to gather this work. Parental follow through upon request is greatly appreciated. Grades may not be affected by absences.

Work not completed, however, will obviously result in lower averages. Please note that students who are suspended from school will receive a “0” for classes that day.
