Behavior and participation Students are expected to come to class on time, to be seated before the bell rings, and to participate in all class activities, both oral and written. Absence and tardiness Because learning a foreign language is a cumulative process, it is necessary for students to be punctual and in class every day. An unexcused or unlawful absence (any absence whereby the student does not supply a written note from parent or guardian explaining the reason for the absence) will result in the student receiving the grade of zero for that days work. Make-up work It is the student s responsibility to make up whatever work was missed due to an excused absence. In the case of multiple days, the student has the number of days out to make up the work (i.e. a student is out for 2 days, he or she has 2 days to make up the work missed). The student and teacher will schedule time for the completion of the make-up work. Homework There will be daily homework assignments. Make-up homework assignments will be accepted within the number of days of the excused absence. Memorizing vocabulary is part of learning a foreign language. Students must memorize vocabulary in order to be successful in foreign language study. Preparation Students are to be prepared for class by bringing a notebook, textbook, pen or pencil, dictionary, and assignments daily. Leaving the class for tissues, materials left in the locker, or use of the bathroom will not be permitted. 4
