Attendance: In all classes for which a student is registered is an essential part of meeting the requirements to pass each course. Students will not receive credit for a registered course if they have more than 7 excused or unexcused absences within any one semester. Course absences can be made up by completing the missed course work through an independent contract provided the missed course work is completed within 2 weeks of the due date or by completing the missed course work during Saturday school.

Absent: If/when you are absent you are welcome to email me and see what it is you missed, so you can be caught up when you return to class. Also know that the teacher’s website will be updated weekly. It is in your best interest to check the teacher’s website regularly, regardless of absences to find out what homework is, obtain handouts that you may have missed in class, or find reminders for upcoming due dates.

Academic Integrity in all classes:

All work must represent original work done by the student alone. Any work on an assignment that comes from someone else must include acknowledgment of that person’s contributions. Citations are a must. Cheating and plagiarism are serious offenses. At the first offense, the student will receive a zero and the office and parents will be notified. Subsequent consequences include suspension.

Late Work & Make up Work in English Class:

LATE WORK POLICY:

Turn in work on time & you can receive up to a possible 100% on any given assignment.

Turn in an assignment one day late you can receive at most 75% on any given assignment.

If an assignment is turned in 3 to 7 school days late, you will only receive at most 50%.

If an assignment is turned in later than 7 days late you will not receive any credit.

MAKE-UP WORK POLICY:

Make-up work is accepted ONLY for excused absences. When absent, please check Absent folder for make-up work. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO RESCHEDULE MISSED ASSIGNMENTS AND ASSESSMENTS!
