One of the most significant factors affecting school success is regular attendance. Doing make-up work, getting notes from a friend, or reading from a book can never compensate for the class experience where the teacher explains the material and the class has the opportunity for guided interaction with the concept being studied. Class Participation Includes: Listening and exhibiting good class behaviors. Being to class on time and daily attendance. Being on task and completing assignments on time. Internet, e-mail, and games only when approved by your teacher.
Make Up Work: If you are absent for any reason, it is your responsibility to find out what work has been missed (look in your folder for the Absent Paper ). If the absence is excused, you have the next two class periods to make up missing assignments and tests, and you may utilize extra lab hours to make up this work. Assignments and tests not made up within the specified time will be accepted for half credit. ABSENCES School-excused absences: the student is responsible to get the assigned work before they leave. The class work missed will have to be made up by the student by the next two class periods for full credit. Excused absences: the teacher will allow the student to make-up the work missed by the next two class periods. Unexcused absences: the student will not be allowed to make up the work missed. A student is tardy if he/she is not in the room when the bell rings. The student will automatically serve detention on the third tardy and every one thereafter. Excessive tardiness or absenteeism will result in parent contact and a referral to the administration.

Detention will be assigned if this becomes a habit or evidence is found at your station. Any equipment broken/damaged at your station within the classroom will be your responsibility to replace/pay for. Please report damages, etc as soon as you notice them. If you are absent, check your folder the day you get back for a blue Absent Paper which explains what you missed and need to make up. Hall Pass is the vest on the back shelf with Room 102 on it.
