Classroom Policies for Driver Education Class 1) Please be respectful of others. Treat others as you would like to be treated. If you have a question or comment, please raise your hand and wait to be called on by the teacher. 2) ABSENT from Class: 3) Regardless of type of absence (excused/unexcused), students are only allowed a maximum of 14 absences from class; the 15 absence will result in the student being dropped from the class with a failing grade. If you are absent from class for any reason (driving day, sick, etc.), it is YOUR responsibility to see the teacher for any possible make-up work. Unexcused absences will not be given any credit for make-up work, unless absence is changed to an excused absence. All assignments, projects, etc. must be turned in by the final day of the term. Failure to do so will result in the following consequences: Student will receive an INCOMPLETE on report card for a grade. Student’s BLUE-SLIP may be held for a minimum of one month after late work is turned in. Work that is turned in later than two weeks after term will not count and grade will be changed from an INCOMPLETE grade to an “F.” Cheating/Copying assignments will result in both parties receiving zeros on the assignment(s). 4) Any late assignments will result in zero credit, unless due to an absence. If following an absence, students have a day plus one additional day to get the make-up work turned in for credit. 5) The following materials should be brought to class EVERYDAY: Textbook Notebook Folder Pen/Pencil 6) A sign-out sheet will be provided in the room for the washroom/locker pass. Please only use the pass in emergencies. Remember, the washroom/locker pass is a privilege and if it is abused, there will be no use of the pass for the remainder of the term. 7) Please do not use any offensive language in the classroom. 8) Please leave your electronic devices in your locker. If one of these devices is found in class the following will happen: First offense – A warning will be issued that the item in question should be put away immediately.
