Niswonger Online Courses
Students have HARD deadlines, will receive a 0 for not turning in an assignment by the deadline and WILL NOT be allowed to make up the work unless they have received prior approval from the teacher of their online course. Progress reports will be sent to schools on the the last Tuesday of every month.
Students are advised to WORK AHEAD if they will be out of town or otherwise engaged when an assignment is due. It is the STUDENT's responsibility to get all work turned in by the deadlines established by their online teacher!
