Every 3rd tardy is a loss of 10 participation points. These points can be earned back by performing a makeup day. Each set of three tardies made-up will result in the use of one make-up day.
NON DRESS POLICY
Students will be allowed to makeup one day of class in which they did not dress (results in the use of one make-up day). Non dress 2-4 will be loss of daily participation points with no possibility for make-up. On the third and fourth non dress days, a letter will be sent home to the student’s parents explaining the situation. The fifth non dress will result in the student being removed from the class and receive a failing grade.

All days missed will result in a loss of daily participation points.
In cases of an absence, it is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements with the instructor to make up class. If a student is absent for a school sponsored activity, the student needs to make-up the day in order to earn the points back.
