 Policies

Make-Up Work

Students who miss class time are responsible for checking to see if they have any work that needs to be made up upon their return to class. students have 5 days to complete assignments from the day they return.  A physical absences is the only reason for make up work.  If you are physically present in class you are expected to complete the assignment.  

Cheating

Cheating will not be tolerated in my classroom!   If a student is suspected of cheating on an assessment and does not have proof, (i.e. assessment saved under his/her username) he/she will receive a zero on the assessment.  It is the student’s responsibility to make sure he/she saves each assessment in the appropriate location and with the given filename.  Students will abide by the school’s honor code at all times.

Attendance 

Students are allowed five absences for the course.  Any absence over five must be accompanied by a doctor’s note or approved by the principal. The classroom door will be closed when the tardy bell rings. Students who are not in class when door is closed will report to the Attendance Office to obtain an admission slip to get into class. 

Substitute Teachers

When the teacher is absent from school, students should be on their best behavior.  Students who choose not to be cooperative with the substitute teacher are subject to disciplinary action up to and including removal from the classroom.  Substitute teachers should be treated with the proper respect they deserve.
