along with the completed assignment, the student will not have to stay for Homework Club.

Any student who did not pass an assignment, quiz, or test may ask for tutoring and the
opportunity to re-take to try to earn a 70%.
It is up to the student to schedule a tutoring session (within a reasonable amount of time) before
he or she will be allowed to make-up the assignment or test.
If the student does not meet with their teacher for tutoring and redo the assignment, quiz or
test within a reasonable amount of time, the original grade will remain.
Students who were absent for a test, will ONLY have 2 weeks in which to get the test made-up.
Tutoring is before or after school. Please give me advance notice if you will be coming in.
