2011-2012 Freshman Cross Curriculum Syllabus
Absences: After missing a day of class, a student is required to bring a note from home explaining
her/his absence. The student must also see her/his teachers to turn in or receive any missed work.


Missing tests must be scheduled when the student first returns to school. If a student does not
reschedule a test upon return to school, the teacher will penalize the student 10% points for
each day.
Homework will be penalized for lateness for each day late.
Tardiness: Students need to arrive at class before class begins. When students arrive late, it creates
distractions to fellow students and their teachers, and may cause them to miss materials. If a student
is tardy due to working with another faculty member, they need to bring a note with them from that
faculty member.

If a student is chronically tardy, s/he will be marked as tardy to class; can receive lunch
detention for excessive tardiness; and can have points marked off their grade for anything
missed while tardy.
Behavior in the Halls: Metro students are the face of the school. Their behaviors and actions reflect
the schools reputation. There are many visitors throughout the day, and students must remember to
reflect the best behaviors a Metro student while in the building.

Students should:
 keep volume at a low level so that announcements can be heard and classes are not
distracted
 keep a clear path through Cafe Metro so that students, faculty, and visitors can maneuver
through without problem
 use appropriate language in school at all times that display their education and maturity
 keep cell phones in their pockets, purses, or lockers. If a teacher can visibly see your phone,
then it will be given to the administration
 refrain from blocking the front door at the end of the school day
 be in the auditorium during auditorium sessions.
 be in your advisory classroom during advisory period unless you have a note saying otherwise
You are in charge of yourself (College Prep):
 Write your assignments in your planner
 You can keep track of your grades in the back of a notebook by writing down possible points
and points received. (consult each teacher if you have any questions on how to write these
down). Grades are cumulative over the course of the semester.
 If you fall behind early in the quarter, consult your teacher on how to change your habits.
 Each student is different, and each teacher may have a different approach to discipline with
those students. Respect the teacher’s decisions, you may consult them about them outside of
class, or you may consult the administration.
