| Guidelines for Success |
| Attendance Policy TARDIES: For two tardies the student will be docked one day of unexcused absence. Tardy is arriving after the beginning of class and before the end of class. ABSENCES: After missing five days of unexcused absences the student will be docked one letter grade; each additional day is docked one letter grade, based on their final grade. Unexcused Absences: If there is school and you choose not to be in class it will cost you one day of unexcused absence. If you are sick that will cost you one day of unexcused absence. If you are going to the doctor that will cost you one day of unexcused absence. If you are gone from class for any nonschool related absence it will cost you one day of unexcused absence. Excused Absences: Any Long term illness or injury will be handled on an individual basis. Please communicate with the instructor these situations. The instructor will only change unexcused absences after the student has communicated with the instructor. School related activities are excused absences. SCHOOL WORK POLICY: All Homework, Tests, and Assignments are to be completed before excused absence. Some assignments may be assigned the day of absence so the student may need to request missing assignments upon return. NOTE: The instructor will not notify the student of missed assignments assigned during the students absence. All Homework, Tests, and Assignments are due as assigned. If the student is absent on those days the student is responsible for submitting that work by the assigned time. All Homework, Texts, and Assignments not submitted on time will receive a 0 score. |
| Due Dates for Assignments All work is due at the end of the class the day it's due. All work not turned in on time will receive no credit. Exceptions are made by interview only. |
