Attendance
Attendance is mandatory. If you miss more than eight classes, you will NOT receive credit for the course.
Tardiness is not allowed. For every three times you are tardy, it will become equal to an absence, and warrants contact to your parent or guardian.
When you are absent, it is your responsibility to make up notes, homework, classwork, labs, exams and quizzes. You will be given five school days from the day you return to do so. Any missing work will be recorded as a zero until made up.
