**Sanderson High School does not offer extra credit. Grades earned are a reflection of mastery of the content. Students will be afforded opportunities to demonstrate mastery through remediation and grade recovery.**

Late Work Policy

Completing assignments on time is critical to success in class. Students will receive a 5% deduction on their assignment grade for each day the assignment is turned in after the due date. In accordance with the SHS academic grading plan, no late work will be accepted one week after the due date.

Make-up Work and Absences

If a student is absent, it is their responsibility to get missed notes and complete any missed assignments. All materials for the course can be found on Canvas, including videos and additional resources for each unit. In the event of an absence, you are required to make up ALL work including homework, quizzes, tests, and projects in accordance with the late work policy.

Quiz Recovery

Students can replace their lowest Quiz grade in a unit, provided it is at least a 50%, with their Unit Test grade. If a Quiz grade is below a 50% and the student passes the Unit Test, the Quiz grade will be replaced with a 60% (passing). (The cap may be removed provided the student meets requirements by the teacher which may include but are not limited to attending tutorials, completing quiz corrections, and/or additional assignments.)

Test Recovery

After a Unit Test, students will have one week to demonstrate mastery of the content. Upon completion of a recovery assignment, the original test grade may be recovered up to a 70%. To demonstrate mastery, students will complete recovery modules at deltamath.com.

Academic Integrity

In accordance with Wake County Board of Education Policy 6445 regarding academic integrity, a student who knowingly engages in or attempts to engage in cheating, plagiarism, or falsification of school-related assignments and/or documents shall be subject to disciplinary action as outlined by Sanderson High School’s academic integrity standards. Students are encouraged to review and practice these standards. If a student is found to be in violation, he/she will receive a zero for the assignment and an alternate assignment will be assigned.

Academic Recovery Process

In order to give each student the best possible learning experience, it is imperative that all parties (students, parents, and teachers) are held accountable for success or failure in the classroom. We understand that a student may struggle to master some concepts in a timely manner. Therefore, our Academic Recovery Process is accessible to all students and offered when:

the student is attending class on a regular basis

the student has given sufficient first effort on assignments

the student completes recovery in a timely manner
