Attendance Policy: Absences in High School are accrued per course. Any absence in excess of 10 may cause the student to lose credit for a 180-day course. Any absence in excess of 5 may cause the students to lose credit for a 90-day / semester course. Absences that are medical (doctor notes), bereavement, and/or Principal Approved are not included in the maximum absences.
Tardiness: Students will have five minutes between classes to help them manage the hallways, go to lockers, visit restrooms and move from one end of campus to the other. Uninterrupted time on task is vital to the educational process and is one of the major goals at Greer High School. Students coming into class late disrupt that process. Greer High School expects students to be in class on time.
Greer High students must be present a minimum of 45 minutes to be counted present.
Communication: Updated weekly lesson plans will be updated on my webpage, updates and announcements. Parents may contact me via email or my office phone.
Academic Policies and Procedures: All assignments should be submitted on time. Missing assignments MUST be made up and submitted within 5 days of the absence. Dishonesty and plagiarism will not be tolerated.
Classroom Rules:
Be on time to class. 4 tardies = referral to administrator
Respect other students and teacher.
Respect classroom materials and always clean up your space.
Observe all school rules.
