These will be collected occasionally for a daily grade.) 3. At the end of class each student will: A. Log out B. Close textbook (Textbooks stay in classroom) C. Straighten work area

4. The teacher dismisses the class – not the bell. 5. As you leave the room, push chairs in under the table and deposit paper in the waste can.

Make-up Work:

Each student is responsible for contacting the teacher for make-up work, there will be a missed assignment sheet for you to pick up, do this in a timely fashion. All work must be keyed during a study hall, before school or after school. In most cases, the work missed will be due 2 days once you return to school. (You are absent on Monday. You return to school on Tuesday… you have until Thursday to turn in the work missed.) Unless the work is completed by the due date, a zero will be given on the assignment(s) missed. No work will be accepted over one week late. If the absence is unexcused, make-up work is not allowed and the student will receive a zero for the work they missed.
