Electronic Communication

​

            CSISD newly established policy states that one-on-one instructor/student electronic communication is strictly prohibited unless there is an emergency or in an extenuating circumstance. Therefore, all emails must include a parent/guardian, another classmate, small group etc. If a student does not copy a parent/guardian, classmate, small group in an email, the email will not be responded to. Electronic communication will also only be responded to Monday-Friday 7am-7pm unless there is an emergency.  

          

Late Work

 

            For daily work that is turned in late, the student will be penalized 10 points for each school day after the due date on a 100 point scale. After 3 late school days, the maximum grade a student can get on an assignment is a 70.

 

            On long range projects or announced tests where the date is established well in advance, the student may be penalized ten points on a 100 point scale per school day beyond the due date if they are not making the efforts to make up their grade. The teacher may use discretion regarding extension of the due date based on the nature of the absence or extenuating circumstances. Long range projects shall not be accepted for full credit after five school attendance days beyond the due date.

 

Make Up Work for Absences

 

            Students shall be expected to make up assignments and tests after absences. Within this framework, the maximum time allowed shall be determined at the discretion of the teacher according to the individual circumstances with a minimum of 1 day for each day of absence plus at least one day to complete and turn in make up work for full credit. A penalty may be assessed for any assignments or tests not made up within the allotted time. A student shall be responsible for obtaining and completing the make up work in a satisfactory manner and within the time specified by the teacher. If the assignment was made prior to the absence, the teacher may require the work the day the student returns.

 

Extra-Credit and Retests

 

            Extra credit may be allowed on a case-by-case basis for students that are struggling in class but are still making the effort to learn. Only one reassessment may be taken per test grade below 75. If the reassessment is administered, the higher grade must replace the lower one with a maximum grade of 75. Reassessment shall be optional on the part of the student. Reassessment grades may sometimes consist of test corrections. The reassessment option is not available for semester exams.

 

School-Sponsored Activities

 

            Students should make every effort to gather and complete work prior to a school sponsored absence. Time allowed for make up work due to a school sponsored activity should be in accordance with the make up work for all absences. (See section entitled: Make up for all absences)
