ASSIGNMENTS:
 If work is not finished in class it much be completed at home
 Clearly identify the assignment with your name, period and date. The
page and problem numbers must be on the top line
 Only assignments done neatly will be accepted
 Show all work on problems as done in class. Answers alone will not give
students any credit for the assignment
 NO late papers will be accepted
MAKE-UP WORK:
To be successful, students must do all assignments and attentively
attend class each day. It is very important that all of the work is made up.
Worksheets may be picked up when the student returns to school. Students
have one day for each day absent to make up missed assignments. Ask if help
is needed.
Unless tests cover new material missed during the absence, tests are
made up the day the student returns to school. Whenever, possible, tests
are made up during class. The student is responsible for any extra material
covered in class while making up the exam. In the event of an extended
absence, please contact me to make special arrangements.
Credit for assignments and tests is given only when the absence is
excused.
Students sent to Sweep are responsible for the work done in class that
day. Since the student is on campus, before the student leaves, he/she must
turn in any work due that day and arrange to make up any assessments. If a
student is repeatedly swept on test days, the student will receive a zero for tests
missed due to sweep. Students absent due to school-related functions are
expected to turn in assignments and make up missed tests or quizzes the day
they return to school.
CONSEQUENCES:
The school’s student code of conduct, dress code, and cheating policy will
be followed. If a student fails to abide by the rules and procedures, or disrupts
the learning of other students, the student will be counseled, sent to ALC, parent
contacted or referred to the administrator. Students must come to class with
their required materials or they will be sent to ALC. Students found cheating on
tests, quizzes, or assignments or allowing students to copy their assignments is
considered cheating. Students ditching class will receive a zero on any
assignments that would have been turned in or assigned in class that day, and a
zero on any test or quiz missed that day.
