ATTENDANCE Attendance will be monitored and discipline for tardiness will be enforced according to school rules. If you aren’t in the room, you’re tardy…you are accountable for your actions.

LATE WORK Late work will be penalized 50% and are due the next day or it will become a zero. The only exceptions will be for sickness provided you have made arrangements with the teacher.

If you are absent and the absence is excused, you will have two days to make up the missed work. If there at the time no arrangements have been made, or the absence is unexcused, a zero will be recorded for that day’s assignment. No late assignments will be taken. Getting assignments that were missed while absent, is the responsibility of the student, not the teacher. Make sure you have everything taken care of so at the end of the quarter you aren’t shocked!
