Late Work Policy
All assignments will be posted on the class website in advance at www.erhs.la/classes/simonian, so
it is strongly suggested that students check the course agenda regularly to keep up with the course
work. Work is assigned in two week intervals to accommodate for block scheduling, and all the
work is due at the end of the two week period. Any work submitted after the due date will be
deducted 10% for each day that it is late, and no late work will be accepted a week after the due
date. Work turned in late as a result of an absence will not be penalized as long as the absence is
excused by the attendance office, however students must make arrangements to make-up the
missing work on their own time. Access to a computer lab is avaiable in the library during nutrition,
lunch and on certain days during after school tutoring.
Accommodations
Please make arrangements with the teacher in advance if you require more time or other
accommodations in class. Accommodations or modifications will be provided as needed.
