Regular and prompt class attendance is an essential part of the educational experience. Cleveland Charter High School expects students to exercise good judgment regarding attendance and absences. Students will accept full responsibility for ensuring their work does not suffer because of absences. All students are expected to attend every scheduled class on time. Exceptions may be made for illness and valid emergencies. Remember you have 8 hours of make-up dates in May 2017.
Classroom Expectations

2. Be prepared for class everyday (students must change clothes before and after class)
3. Be respectful to all students in the class

Class Requirements
Students must be in class every day that the class is scheduled to meet. Students must make up the hour for each absence. Students who miss a run day (Mondays) for an excused absence can make up the run the two Mondays in May that are scheduled 5/8/17 and 5/15/17). Students must wear sneakers on run days and T-shirts/sweatshirts, and athletic shorts/sweat pants/yoga pants in class. Students are expected to participate every day in class unless a doctor’s note is provided.
Plagiarism, Cheating, and Academic Integrity
Plagiarism is the practice of copying words, sentences, images, or ideas for use in written or oral assessments without giving proper credit to the source. Cheating is defined as the giving or receiving of illegal help on anything that has been determined by the teacher to be an individual effort. Both are considered serious offenses and will significantly affect your course grade.

If a student will miss more than one class, a doctor’s note is required and students will be given alternate (usually written) activities. Students should not wear long earrings and/or necklaces. Students must participate everyday unless they present the teacher with a doctor’s note, in which case alternate or makeup arrangements will be made by teacher discretion.
