Classroom Procedures

Absences:

Students who are absent are required to make up any missed assignments and/or assessments within two class days of their return. Assignments may be completed during consultation or before and after school. If exams, quizzes, and assignments are not made up within two class days of return they will be counted as a zero. In the case of an absence, please make every effort to call the main office to request missed work. Students are also expected to arrive to class prepared and ready to begin by the time the bell rings. Lateness and poor preparation will result in unfavorable consequences.
