You are late to class if you are not inside the classroom when the bell rings. If you are late to class you will be counted tardy. After three tardies students may receive an office referral for discipline.

If You Are Absent

It is your responsibility to make-up any assignments or tests in a timely manner when you return from an absence. It is also your responsibility to find out what you need to make-up, I will not track you down.
