Absences:

It is the student’s responsibility to get all missed work from an absence as well as turn in any assignments that were due on the missed day(s). Students should check with the teacher ASAP.

Late Work:

Students are expected to turn assignments in on time; however, late work will be accepted at a 10% deduction per class period late.

Hall Passes:

It is essential that students are in class for the full 90 minutes. Locker visits and bathroom visits should take place during class changes or lunch. Only 5 bathroom passes per semester for each student unless a doctor’s note is obtained.

Cheating:

Cheating is a serious offense that will carry heavy consequences. Any student giving or receiving answers on classwork, homework, projects, tests, essays, or quizzes will receive a zero for that assignment. Assignments that are plagiarized will also result in a zero.

Tutoring:

I am available for before school tutoring and extra help as needed. A day/time will be set up that is convenient for the teacher and student. Please feel free to ask questions and ask for my help at any time! Parents may leave me a message at school. Students and parents may also e-mail me at any time.
