7^th Grade Project Policy

Projects are long-term assignments that are more comprehensive in scope. Students are usually given four or more days to complete projects. These are generally weighted more than other assignments.

Projects are due at the beginning of class.
A project handed in by 13^th period the next day will be accepted with a 20% penalty. Each school day thereafter, the student will continue to lose an additional 20%. After 5 days, the project grade becomes a zero that may not be made up.
If a student is absent on the day a project is due, the project will be due the first day back to school. Long-term absences will be handled on an individual basis.
Not turning in a project at the beginning of class will affect Regal Eagle.
