Lumsden High School Late Assignment Policy



If a student has an overdue assignment the process is outlined below.

The student is required to communicate with the teacher in advance if they require extra time, and the teacher will determine if the time and additional support is warranted. Communication between the student and teacher is critical to support the authentic learning of those outcomes.
If a major assignment is incomplete, the student will have three calendar days from the missed due date to hand in before parents are notified via EDSBY/email. Students are expected to hand in late work as soon as possible.
In each semester we will hold ourselves to two submissions cut off dates. In Semester 1: October 10th and November 21st. In Semester 2: March 19th and May 13th. As these cut off dates pass, any outstanding work due before those dates will be ineligible for marks and zeros in Edsby will stand. Teachers may show some leniency for students experiencing extenuating circumstances or may waive these dates if an assignment is given very close to a deadline.

Teachers will determine the cut off date before final exams and communicate this in their syllabus. If a student has failed a course and the teacher calls them in for credit recovery they may take into account assignments that were missed throughout the semester.

LHS Policy on Generative AI Use:

At LHS students CAN use AI to:

1. Check spelling or grammar

2. Ask for help understanding a concept

3. Brainstorm ideas for a topic (with teacher permission)

4. Get feedback on something they’ve written (with teacher permission)

At LHS students CANNOT use AI to:

1. Complete creative assignments or written work on their behalf

2. Copy AI answers into handwritten assignments

3. Rephrase AI writing and pretend it’s their own

4. Skip thinking and just use what AI says

Unethical uses of AI:

· Students suspected of using AI for graded assignments may be subject to marks deductions, rewrite requirements, grades of 0%, and/or parent notification.

· In cases where AI use is disputed, students may be asked to provide drafts, outlines, and other examples of original work.

· Editing software such as Grammarly must be disclosed to the classroom teacher, and teachers may ask students to submit their original work alongside any software edited submissions.

Personal electronic devices include but are not limited to cell phones, smartphones, tablets, computers, smart watches and gaming systems. Students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 shall not use personal electronic devices during instructional time. Students will also not be permitted to have ear buds/headphones during instructional time. Teachers of students in Grade 9-12 who identify a specific instructional purpose for students to use personal electronic devices in their classroom may request permission from the principal. Personal electronic devices must be turned off or put on silent and stored with the classroom teacher during instructional time. If students use their personal electronic devices when they have not been given permission the phone will be taken to the office for the remainder of the day including lunch and breaks. An ODR will be completed by the staff member and parents will be informed. If a second violation occurs the phone will be given back at the end of the day but will need to be turned into the office for the entire next day. If there is a subsequent problem students will be suspended.
