Teacher Absences:

I will always tell you in advance if I know I will be absent from school. Usually, you will know the assignment before you come to school that day. There are no hall passes when I am out, so please plan accordingly. You know how this classroom runs; continue as though I were here. If I have an unexpected absence, the same rules apply.

Student Absences:

If you must be absent, please notify me at the earliest possible time. If your absence was not anticipated, it is your responsibility to gather the assignments that you missed.I will not remind you of missed assignments. You will have three weekdays to complete your missed assignments. If you miss an exam, be prepared to take it when you return to class. Keep in mind that the format of the re-test is at my discretion.

Missed assignments should be obtained outside of class hours only.

Retakes:

You have the option to retake any test grade below a 75 within seven days of the grade being posted on Gradespeed.

Late Work:

Classroom assignments and homework are expected to be completed on time. Additionally, you have received two homework passes. Please use them wisely. Late assignments will not be accepted.

Headings:

All of your papers should be labeled with the proper heading. The upper left-hand corner should include the following information: 1)full name, 2)subject and period, 3)date. See the example below. Five points will be deducted from any paper that is turned in without a proper heading.

Free Days:

There is no such thing as free day but we do have a recreational day every Friday, At our discretion!

Detention:

If you fail to follow these procedures or are disrupting the classroom environment, you will be given a personal detention with me. You will be required to spend 30 minutes before or after school or during lunch cleaning up the classroom, lab stations, or lab equipment. If I hand you a Detention Notice, please hand me your ID. I will keep your ID card at my desk until you have filled out and returned the Detention Notice. You will have one week to serve your detention. Failing to serve detention will result in referral to your dean. In high school classes, it falls to the student to inform the parent of a detention. Scheduling the detention in a timely manner so that it does not affect parent schedules is a student responsibility.

Lock and Lockers:

Students are responsible for purchasing a combination lock (no key locks) for their locker. The lockers are used for storing Physical Education supplies only. The coaches are not responsible for any stolen items.

Students are not allowed to bring electronics in the gym. All electronics that are being used during the physical education class will be confiscated and turned in to the respective Principal. There is a monetary fee for the return of all confiscated phones.
