At Nackawic High School, we understand that sometimes students may encounter unforeseen circumstances that may prevent them from completing an assignment on time. At the same time, it is an essential life skill to manage time and meet deadlines. Therefore, NHS has implemented a Late Assignment Policy that allows students to submit late assignments up to a maximum of 2 weeks past the original due date. Students who submit late assignments will be penalized 5% per school day to a maximum of 40%. After the 2-week grace period, the assignment will be considered incomplete, and a mark of zero will be given for that assignment. Students are still encouraged to complete the assignment for their own learning and understanding. Exceptions may be made, at the teacher’s discretion, if there are extenuating circumstances that lead to the late assignment. Teachers have up to 2 weeks from the date of submission to grade and return late assignments to students. We encourage all students to communicate with their teachers if they encounter any issues that may prevent them from submitting an assignment on time. Our goal is to provide a fair and reasonable approach to late assignments while still maintaining academic integrity and standards.
