Attendance and Tardy Procedures

· Regular attendance is one of the most important factors for success in this class—it is the student’s responsibility to pick up missed assignments and report to the teacher’s room to make up any work missed.

· If a student is absent, all missed work will need to be completed according to the PISD District Student Handbook.

· The PHS Tardy Procedure/Consequences will be followed exactly!

Class Rules

· Students will need to bring their Accounting textbook and binder, as well as pen, pencil, and small ruler. Calculators will be issued to each student but left in the room, so students may want their own for use outside of class.

· No candy, food, drink, etc., will be allowed in the classroom.

· No talking during the lesson unless you have permission.
