Late Work Policy

Tutors will provide clear due dates and expect students to complete and turn in their work on those designated days. Work is due at the beginning of the class period, or per the tutor's instruction.

Many times the work assigned prior to class time is necessary to prepare the student to participate in the class. Below are the expectations for completed assignments.

• Students are to complete their work on the day it is assigned and to turn it in on the due date.
• Parents are to review and approve their student's work before it is turned in to the tutor.
• As students are to turn in their assignments to the tutor at the beginning of class (see above), students should not be working on homework assignments during class time unless approved by the tutor.
• It is the tutor's discretion whether to accept late work. Their policy for accepting and grading late work will be explained in each class welcome letter and syllabus. The tutor may choose to take a percentage off of homework/tests/projects for being handed in late.
• In case of absence from class, parents are asked to communicate with tutors as a matter of common courtesy to explain the reason for their child's absence. An email, note, phone call, text, or in person conversation are all acceptable means of communicating a student's absence. In these instances, the tutor may provide an additional grace period beyond the one class day.
• Long term assignments (assignments given to students at least two weeks in advance of their absence) and short term assignments are due the day of the student's return from an absence.
• If a student is carrying an "F" grade for at least 2 quarters in a class, BTM will withdraw them from that class, but not their other "passing' classes.

BTM's Leadership Team agrees that this is for their safety and accountability, as well as importance for compliance with our liability insurance. Students may not wait for a ride outside alone or be outside for any reason without direct adult supervision. Students, who are not siblings with each other, may not gather in vehicles in the parking lot without direct adult supervision. Any student in a car should be so with the intention of leaving the BTM premises within several minutes. They may not be in a classroom or any room, aside from the restroom, alone or without the presence of a nearby supervising adult. There must be an adult close enough to see and hear the students for proper supervision.

Students should not enter a room with only one adult present. Wait for another student or adult before entering.

If my payment(s) is late, (after the 10th of the month), I agree to add a $10 late fee/class/student payment to the owed amount.  I agree to pay the $10 late fee if my first payment or any subsequent payments are late.

We also agree to pay the various fees incurred should we change or drop a class, or withdraw from the tutorial.  The fee to change or drop a class is $35/ class/student; the fee to withdraw from the tutorial is $50/student, both due to BTM via paypal, using BTMLeadershipteam@gmail.com.
