ABSENCES
CLASS WORK AND MAKE-UP WORK (refer to the student/parent handbook for full details):
Students are responsible for their own work, completing their assignments, and submitting them on time.
If an assignment/test is scheduled for the day you return from an absence, and notice was given before your absence, you are expected to be prepared at the scheduled time.
Work and/or a test can only be made up with an excused absence using the following guidelines:
· Any work due on the day you were absent must be turned in when you return without prompting from the teacher.
· It is the responsibility of the student to request make-up work within five (5) days after an excused absence. Check the make-up work folder for assignments upon your return to school. Students are responsible for turning in all make-up work within five (5) days of their return. The grade for missed work will be entered as a ZERO and will be changed if the assignment is turned in within the five (5) day requirement.
· Tests must be made up within five (5) days of an excused absence.
· After the 5-day requirement, any incomplete work will remain a ZERO.
NO EXCEPTIONS

CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR
Students are to conduct themselves by the
Three R’s: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for self. Student’s Will:
- Respect teachers, students, and school property. This includes using appropriate tone of voice and language without arguing or talking back. No swearing, rude gestures, or crude teasing.
- Listen attentively to instructions and lessons and stay on task. Stay awake, do not sleep, or put your head down during class. You will be asked to stand in the back of the room if you cannot stay awake and/or keep your head up.
- Be in your assigned seat when the bell rings, prepared for class and ready to work. You will be counted Tardy and sent to the attendance ofice if you are not in the room when the bell rings.
- Support and participate in the learning process. Remember, every student has the right to learn.
- Turn in all work in a neat and professional manner; messiness will not be tolerated. If I cannot read your work, it will be marked wrong.
- Be academically honest. All assignments turned in will be the original work of the student. Giving or receiving information, in any form, related to a project, test, or any assignment that will be graded, whether inside or outside the class is considered cheating. One or both parties involved may receive a 0 (zero) on the assignment and be referred to administration.
- Make every effort to be in class each day. Absences are a major cause of failure in most classes.
- Stay in your seat and wait to be dismissed by me at the end of class. Before leaving the room each day:
- Log off
-
Straighten your work area and return supplies to proper place
-
Push in your chair when dismissed
