Attendance and punctuality:

Attending class and arriving on time is very important. You are expected to be in the classroom and ready to listen when the bell rings. More information concerning absences and tardies can be found in the student handbook.

Missing/Late Assignments:

It is YOUR responsibility to get the assignments you may have missed while absent. I will do my best to help you, but it is up to you to ask me or your peers what you missed. For every day the assignment is late, you will lose 10 percent off the final grade. Late assignments will be accepted up to 3 days after the due date.  If you were absent, it will be based on the day you return to class.

Bathroom/Locker Passes:

Each student will be allowed 5 passes per marking period worth 2 points each.Each time you use a pass you will lose 2 points. If you have all five passes left at the end of the marking period will be given 10 points toward the work ethic portion of your grade.
