Attendance, Tardies, and Citizenship
I expect that students will attend class on a regular basis. It is difficult to make up assignments when class discussions and group activities are missed. If a student is absent, it is their responsibility to find out what was missed, and what they need to do to catch up. However, there are some activities that can be done only in class and cannot be made up. Students are also required to be to class on time. Class begins that moment the tardy bell rings. If students are tardy, it will affect their citizenship grade.
Late Work/ Retesting
All due dates will be posted in the classroom and on my blog. If a student misses an assignment they can turn it in at any time during the term for ½ credit. The cutoff date for turning work in each term will be the last day of the term. I reserve the right to work with all students on an individual basis. I am very excited to work with your student. I am committed to creating an environment in which student will have every opportunity to be successful. With the help of your student and you as a parent I know that we will have a successful year. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or check my blog for daily updates as to what is going on in class. The address is: http://blog.wsd.net/mawomack/ Thank you.
**I will occasionally show “PG” movies that include a small amount of violence and language. Please let me know if you have an issue with this and I will make alternate accommodations for your student.
