Late Assignment Policy

Late Assignment Policy at LHS

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.
