  number of days equal to that of their absence to
  turn in make-up work without penalty. After the
  allotted make up period has passed, late
  penalties will be put in place. (ex If a
  student is absent two days, student has two days
  from the time she receive the assignment to
  submit work without penalty. On the third day
  student will begin accruing penalties.)
• Student has 5 school days to turn in late
  work from the day the assignment was due. Each
  day the assignment is late within that five day
  window earns a five point penalty. After the five
  day window has passed student may still turn in
  an assignment at any point within the grading
  cycle for a maximum of 60 points.
