Communications:  If, at any time, during the school year you need extra help or have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to come and see me, or email me at Clinton.bateman@nbed.nb.ca.

Late assignment policy: 

·         To get full marks, assignments need to be handed in by the assigned due date. 

·         For every date late, after the assignment due date, 10% will be deducted from the mark (up to a maximum of 40%).  Weekends count as one day. 

·         If a student is absent on a due date, a written legitimate excuse from a parent or guardian must be presented upon the student’s return, or the late-day deductions will apply. 

·         A student’s mark cannot be lower than 60% given that the student deserves a passing grade on the assignment to begin with.  Any work getting a mark of less than 60% will receive that grade. 

·         In order to be graded, all work must be handed in no later than one week after the given due date of the assignment.  Term marks are final.
