According to FCBOE Procedure IHA, p. 4, "Students who have low (75 or
below) or failing cumulative grades may ask the teacher for opportunities
to improve their grades when all work to date has been completed &
the student has demonstrated a legitimate effort to meet all course requirements
including attendance."
Make ups: FCBOE Policy JBD: "Upon returning to school following an absence,
it is the student's responsibility to contact the teacher to request make
up work. Make up work must be completed by the student within the time
specified by the teacher. At TRMS, the student will be given the same amount
of time to make up work as the student was absent unless other arrangements
are mutually agreed upon. The student will receive the actual grade on
the make up work if the absence was excused. Make up work for unexcused
absences may be reduced by ten points. Make up work submitted late will
receive a zero."
In order to maintain an environment conducive to learning, students
must follow behavior class guidelines provided by the teacher.
