Syllabus


 * Make-Up Work & Late Work:**

All re-worked/re-submitted projects are due 2 weeks before the end of each semester, at the latest. You will need to complete a re-submittal plan, and get it approved by me before the original project is graded.


 * Excused Absences:** You have 1 week to make up any work from an excused absence. It is the student’s responsibility to check for missed assignments in a timely manner and to turn in missing work. In emergencies and serious illnesses, obviously other accommodations between the student and teacher will be arranged. I am available after school and at lunch time for open studio/extra work time, however it is your responsibility to schedule time in advance.


 * HOMEWORK**: If homework is not completed for the start of the class, you will be given the opportunity to complete it THAT day in the Second Chance Room. You will need to turn it in to me before school begins the very next day. Should you choose not to, you will be given many chances to visit the SCR until it is finished. To turn something in ‘the next day’, means the next school day, not the next time the class meets.

Log Entry: Parents and counselors are contacted immediately when large projects are not turned in. Second Chance Room (SCR): you will be given the opportunity to complete your project in the SCR. The project must be completed immediately within 3 days, courtesy of the SCR.
 * Major Projects**: If you do not complete or turn in a major project, the following steps will follow:

The project will be marked as Missing/Incomplete in Powerschool until it is submitted.

Grades will be updated every two weeks on Powerschool. If there is a grade issue, please see me before or after school to discuss it. Grades will not be discussed during class, as class time is for making art. Powerschool automatically rounds up grades, therefore grades will not be changed unless there is a human error.
 * Grading Policy:** Points are earned for major projects and IWBs.
