    ATTENDANCE

     

    AB                               ABSENCE: You are still responsible for all the work and assignments covered during your absence. When you return to school, you may turn in your work or see me to arrange a schedule for completing your work. Failure to do so may result in a zero and no other chance for make-up. Remember 5 unwaived absences may result in no credit.

    LA                               

    Late:  Class will begin with the late bell. It is expected that you will be ready to participate at that time. Detention for lateness is held at my discretion. Remember 5 lates is equivalent to 1 absence.

     

    CLASS CUTS: One cut will automatically bring your grade down one whole grade from your final average.  Two cuts in Driver’s Ed. class will result in being dropped from the course.
