ATTENDANCE

The objectives of this class center on increasing reading and spelling skills, therefore attendance is essential to the learning and retention of these skills. This class is based on your participation, which means your grade will be based on your attendance and participation. Every class you can earn 5 participation points and 5 attendance points. Wasatch High School policy is followed and states:

  • Students are required to attend each class, on time, unless properly excused.
  • Make-up reading sessions can be scheduled for excused absences
  • You can only make up assignments for 3 excused absences
  • Absences need to be excused within a week or it will be deemed truancy
  • School-excused absences can ALL be made up
  • A combination of 6 absences and tardies= Non-complete grade, which means you will not receive credit for the class

TARDIES:

I take attendance at the beginning of class right after the bell rings. For every tardy, you will be lose 2 of the 5 participation points. Wasatch High School policy is enforced and states:

  • Tardy Bell to 10 Minutes= Tardy
  • 11 minutes or over= Very Late
  • Combination of 6 tardies and absences= Non-complete grade, which means you will not receive credit for the class.

We enforce the cell phone policy of our school. If we see a cell phone it will be taken from the student and may be picked up in the office by a parent. More details are offered in the student planner.
