is the responsibility of the student to meet with the teacher after providing a note to administration signed by a parent attesting to the validity of the absence. This note must be provided no later than 2 days after the absence or the student will not be eligible to rewrite the test. The student will be assigned a time to write the exam. Should the student not attend the designated time, the exam grade will be marked as a zero. Students have two school days to make this arrangement from the time they return to school. Failure to meet all of the above requirements will result in a zero grade.
Late Assignments
Assignments are due to teachers at the beginning of class on the date they are due. Students who miss deadlines will be penalized 10% per day up to 50% of the total grade. After this, assignments will not be accepted and students will be given zero for the assignment. Weekends will carry a one‐day penalty of 10%. Students who are absent on the day that an assignment is due must submit the assignment electronically, or be penalized as stated above.
responsibility to meet with the teacher, explain the problem and request an extension. This must be done before the assignment is due. Teachers are not required to provide an extension, but will consider the possibility depending upon the circumstances.
Semester Reports
Students who have any outstanding work at the end of a semester for an approved reason by Head of School will have 2 weeks to submit the work for a grade change. Approved reasons include hospitalization and family emergencies that are substantiated by documentation. No grades will be changed in a previous quarter after this grace period.
Exam Grades 9‐12
Evaluation of a student's’ progress will include a midterm and inal exam at the end of semester 1 and semester 2, respectively. The midterm exam will assess student learning on all content from semester one. The final exam will assess student learning on some elements of semester 1 work but the focus will be primarily on semester 2 content.
Exam Procedures – grades 9‐12
The days allotted for exams will be posted in advance. It is important that students & parents do not schedule any vacations during these times. Students may not miss an exam unless there are extenuating circumstances. A medical note from a physician will be required if you are too ill to write an exam. If any other emergency arises, the Head of Secondary must be informed and permission requested to be absent from the exam. Students who do not write an exam will receive zero. Students who arrive late to an exam will not be given extra time to compensate for time lost.
Final Assessment Procedures – grades 6‐8
Middle school students will be given final assessments at the end of each semester. This will be averaged into their final semester grades.
The irst semester is weighted at 40% and the midterm exam is weighted at 10% for a semester one grade out of 100. Semester two grades are weighted at 40% and the inal exam is 10% for a grade out of 100. The semester 1 and 2 grades are then averaged for a inal grade out of 100. The final grade determines whether or not the student has passed or failed. Caring Innovative Inquirer Reflective Spirited Empowered

Attendance Policy for Secondary
The attendance policy and procedures at AAM have been developed in accordance with the Ministry of Education’s Private Education Law. Student absence will be recorded and monitored by the administration of the school. The school principal or designate is entitled to make a decision with regard to excused and unexcused absences. As per Article 48 – 2A: If the student is absent from school for no reason or for an unacceptable reason for 20 consecutive days or 25 non‐ consecutive days during one school year, the student may be expelled from school.
during or after school hours on that day. Total number of tardies, absences per class or absences per school day (without a doctor’s note) will cause the student to be ineligible to attend special trips or participate in special activities. More than 3 full days absence, part day absence, or tardies combined will disallow the student from participation in these events.
If the student fails to attend one class period, the absence will be calculated into the total absences for the course, which could lead to a lowered grade or failure for the course. Please note that unexcused absences per class, and not part of an entire school day will be counted as additional absences (at the discretion of the Head of Secondary).
