Late-Work Policy:
(note that Mr. Koepping's late policy differs from other LOHS teachers)

Make-Up Work (excused absences)
Make-Up Work (unexcused absences)
Late Work

Make-up work (for excused absences):

·         Any assignment made prior to a student’s excused absence is due on the day of their return to class.

·         Missed tests will be made up within a week of the student’s return during a time agreed upon with the teacher.

·         Assignments given during an excused absence are usually due one class day for every class day of absence after the student’s return. So a student missing three periods will have four class periods to submit make-up work (three periods plus the day of their initial return). Students who need more time should speak to Mr. Koepping as soon as they return from the absence.

Make-up work (for unexcused absences):

·         Tests that are not taken and assignments that are not turned in because of unexcused absences will not be accepted upon the student’s return. Students will receive a zero for those assignments and those tests.

Late work:

·         Taking into account the vagaries of high school life, Mr. Koepping will accept work one calendar day late for full credit. If an assignment were due on Monday, he would accept it on Tuesday (but not Wednesday morning) for full credit.   This is not true for the decision homework in America and the Contemporary World or Advanced Constitutional Law assignments. Those assignments will only be accepted on the day they are due.

·         Students will lose 10 percent of the value of an assignment for each additional calendar day (excluding weekends) the work is late. For example an assignment that is due on a Monday that is turned in on Wednesday will be worth a maximum of 90 percent of the points possible, on Thursday that would fall to 80 percent, on Friday it would be worth a maximum of 70 percent. Work that is more than three calendar days late (excluding weekends) will not be accepted.

·         Work or makeup tests will also not be accepted after a quarter or semester is completed. A quarter or semester is considered complete when the students have attended the final class of that grading period.
