A new due date will be provided to the student. The teacher will contact the home of the student and speak with a parent/guardian about the late assignment. 2) The teacher and student will arrange a time for the student to complete the assignment during the school day via Homework Haven as required. 3) The student will be referred to the vice-principal or principal, if he/she has not submitted assignment(s) measuring achievement of an overall expectation within the negotiated timelines. 4) The vice-principal or principal may refer the student to the student success teacher, or the learning resource teacher to assist with the completion of the assignment. Withdrawal of classroom and/or extracurricular privileges may be necessary. 5) Assignments measuring student achievement of an overall expectation of the course, which are not submitted may result in insufficient evaluation data and the credit may be at risk.
