Tutorials
Tutorials are held on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 2:40-3:40. Students whose grades are low, or who need additional help are expected to attend. You will benefit from utilizing this time to your advantage. Please sign in when attending.
Make-up Work
When students are absent, they are responsible for picking up missed work before or after school the day they return. Make-up work is due at the beginning of class when that class next meets. Students who are absent more than one day are to conference privately with their teacher regarding due dates for missed work. You can get your make up work from Coach Harr.

Students are expected to comply with all school rules as outlined in the student handbook. Appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken for violations.
Dress Code
Students are expected to comply with the school dress code. If a student comes to class out of dress code he/she will be sent to his/her assistant principal’s office.

1 Day late – 85% of the earned grade will be awarded.
2 Days late – 75% of the earned grade will be awarded.
3 Days late or more – a grade of 50 will be given.
