- A student well enough to be in school is generally well enough to be dressed and participating in class. Any exception to this will be handled on an individual basis.
- Medical Excuses: Any student who may not be able to participate for an extended period of time for medical reasons is required to have an excuse from a doctor. This excuse needs to be descriptive letting me know what the student can and cannot do.

This course is nearly all digital. This means that your student will be required to work on a computer, tablet or other forms of technology at school and at home. I use a website Connect Ed which all coursework, quizzes and tests, notes, lectures, etc. will be posted as well as their course work through the link page on the Creekside Webpage.
If you are ever curious what we are working on, have your student show you by logging in. Students should be actively logging onto these sites to receive information and complete coursework.
