2014-2015Freshman Cross Curriculum Syllabus
Absences: After missing class, a student is required to explain her/his absence to their teacher once returning to school. The student must also email her/his teachers to turn in or receive any missed work.
Missing testsmust be scheduled when the student first returns to school. If a student does not reschedule a test upon return to school, the teacher will penalize the student 10% points for each day.
Homework will be penalized for lateness for each day late, excluding excused absences. Work turned in later than one week will not be accepted.
Tardiness: Students need to arrive at class before class begins. When students arrive late, it creates distractions to fellow students and their teachers, and may cause them to miss materials. If a student is tardy due to working with another faculty member, they need to bring a note with them from that faculty member.
If a student is chronically tardy, s/he will be marked as tardy to class; can receive lunch detention for excessive tardiness; and can have points marked off their grade for anything missed while tardy.
Behavior in the Halls: Metro students are the face of the school. Their behaviors and actions reflect the schools reputation. There are many visitors throughout the day, and students must remember to reflect the best behaviors a Metro student while in the building.

Students should:
- keep volume at a low level so that announcements can be heard and classes are not distracted
- keep a clear path through Cafe Metro so that students, faculty, and visitors can maneuver through without problem
- use appropriate language in school at all times that display their education and maturity
- keep cell phones in their pockets, purses, or lockers. If a teacher can visibly see your phone, then it will be given to the administration
- refrain from blocking the front door at the end of the school day
- be in the auditorium during auditorium sessions.
- be in your advisory classroom during advisory period unless you have a note saying otherwise
You are in charge of yourself (College Prep):
- Write your assignments in your planner
- You can keep track of your grades in the back of a notebook by writing down possible points and points received. (consult each teacher if you have any questions on how to write these down). Grades are cumulative over the course of the semester.
- If you fall behind early in the quarter, consult your teacher on how to change your habits.
- Each student is different, and each teacher may have a different approach to discipline with those students. Respect the teacher’s decisions, you may consult them about them outside of class, or you may consult the administration.
