Criteria Disclaimer
A wide range of assessment information is used in the development of a student’s final grade. At
Archbishop MacDonald High School, individualized assessments provide specific information
regarding student progress and overall performance in class. Student assessment may vary from
student to student to adapt to differences in student needs, learning styles, preferences, and paces. It
should be noted that not all assignments are used to determine the final grade.

Codes
Assignments are due at the beginning of the class on the assigned due date.
 If the late is excused due to an excused absence, ensure that the excused note
is brought in to the office as soon as possible so that school records show it as
an excused absence.
 If the late is excused due to another reason, ensure that a legitimate parental
note accompanies the assignment during hand in.
 If the late is unexcused, a deduction of 10% / class late will be administered to
the assignment.
 Missed summative assessments must be re-scheduled immediately with the
instructor.
 If a test is missed due to an excused absence, the student must register to
retake the test in Exam Hall, writings during class time are not permitted.

 Red Pen or a Color other than Black / Blue or Pencil for Marking.
 Pencil, Eraser and Ruler for graphing.
 Highlighter
 Scientific Calculator-NO cell phones, IPhones etc. permitted
 Your Notes Package (You will only need to bring the current unit to class)
 Three Ring Binder
 Metric Graph Paper
Assessment due dates will be posted both on the board in the classroom and also on the
calendar on the virtual classroom.
It is your responsibility to complete and submit items on time.
No scented food will be allowed into the classroom (this is to prevent the room from
smelling like a cafeteria and maintain an undistracted learning environment)
You may have snacks as long as they do not disturb the learning environment (that is,
they are not seen, heard or smelled).
Attendance is taken at the beginning of class.
If you are not present and sitting in your assigned seat during attendance, you will be
marked absent.
If you are entering class late, you will need to obtain a late slip from the office.
Place late slips in the ‘late bin’ located by the teacher’s computer so that attendance can
be adjusted later.
After 3 unexcused lates, both parents/guardians and administration will be notified.
If you miss a class or several classes due to excused reasons it is your responsibility to
obtain the missing notes and / or make up the missing work.
You must make up missed summative assessments by arrangement with the instructor.
Repeat offences will be addressed with admin.
