Course Prerequisites: Child’s World – introductory course at Glencoe High School Attendance Policy: Students are expected to attend each class meeting. If a student is absent, it is the student’s responsibility to find out what was covered in class and get the work completed in a timely manner.
TARDY POLICY The expectation of Glencoe High School is that all students are punctual to all classes. If a student arrives to a classroom after the tardy bell, within the first 10 minutes of the class period, they are considered tardy. If a student wishes to excuse a tardy, verification of the tardy as excused or unexcused will be provided in the form of an ADMIT SLIP issued by the Attendance Office. Because the Hillsboro School District provides reliable and daily transportation, attendance issues related to personal transportation (parent or student) are not considered excused other than for severe emergencies. The consequence for an unexcused tardy for a specific class period is one day of After School Detention, to be served from 3:45-4:30pm, beginning no later than three days after the referral is issued. It is the student's responsibility to communicate to their parent or legal guardian when detention is assigned and to make alternate transportation plans when necessary. Teachers, administrators, campus monitors or any other staff member may issue detentions for tardies. If a student fails to serve his/her detention within the prescribed time period, the student will be referred back to the teacher and communication from the teacher to the student's home will be made to advise of time not served. If the student fails to serve detention the day after contact with the parent or legal guardian, the student will be referred to an administrator for further consequences and/or a possible suspension. As a school community, we are deeply committed to learning. Fundamental to student and staff learning is the integrity of classroom instruction. In an effort to promote smart and appropriate use of technology, our cell phone policy will allow students to use their phones during designated times throughout the day. Students are permitted to use cell phones during: • passing times • Lunch • Before and after school Teachers are also encouraged to design lessons where the use of cell phones is relevant to the course curriculum. Teachers will notify students when this type of use is allowed. Teachers may direct students to use a cell phone during instructional time. Otherwise, cell phones must be turned off or placed on silent and put away prior to the beginning of teaching. Headphones may not be visible during instructional time. Also, phones may not be used outside the classroom during instructional time. For example, using cell phones while walking to any other location outside of the classroom is not permitted. Additionally, when a cell phone is in use for academic purposes, students WILL NOT: • Answer an incoming text message or phone call • Be on any social media site (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) • Access or play any game or access any entertainment site on their device • Access or use any application (app) on their device unless expressly instructed to by the teacher • Take any picture or video that the instructor has not expressly asked you to take • Upload any picture or video taken in any class to any social media site or website • Text message or email any picture or video taken in class to any person, including themselves • Access any type of mobile web browsing for any reason unless directed by the instructor • Take any picture, video or text any class assignments or assessments without permission Note: Due to the evolving nature of emerging technologies, additional rules and regulations may be added throughout the school year. Phones that are used, or are visible, will be confiscated by the classroom teacher/ staff member and turned into the main office. 1st offense – Cell phone confiscated and teacher will return at the end of class. 2nd offense – Cell phone confiscated and parent/guardian may pick-up in main office. 3rd offense – Cell phone confiscated and parent/guardian may pick-up in main Suspension. Any additional offenses will result in a parent-conference with a Glencoe High School Administrator
Course Grading: Students are graded based on a point system. The points for each assignment are listed in the course syllabus below. Please note that the dates assignments are to be turned in are also listed below. If assignments are turned in after the expected turn in date, the instructor will enter the grade as she has the time. Only a one week delay of turning in assignments will be accepted. Please note that this may mean the late assignment will not be included in midterm or quarter grades. Assignments that are not turned in will be entered into the grade book as a “0”. Points are averaged towards a final grade: 90-100%=A 80-89%=B 70-79%=C 60-69%=D 0-59%=F SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT POLICY Students applying for PCC credit are not eligible for any retakes. First and second semester final exams ARE NOT eligible for retake. A student is allowed to retake any summative assessment up to ten (school) days after the original summative assessment has been graded and communicated to the student. After the ten days, the eligibility for retake will expire unless prior arrangements have been made with the teacher. On the first retake, the student does not need to provide evidence of learning. Any subsequent retake during the 10‐day period will require a body of evidence of learning as determined by the teacher. The
teacher must allow a reasonable period of time for student completion of the body of evidence.

Dual Credit Students Federal law requires that high schools provide disability services for students with a documented disability (through either an IEP for 504 accommodation plan), including those students who are taking Dual Credit classes at their high school location. On-campus students Students who experience disability related barriers in courses taught on PCC campuses should contact PCC Disability Services at http://www.pcc.edu/resources/disability/. If students elect to use approved academic adjustments, they must provide in advance formal notification from Disability Services to the instructor.
