ATTENDANCE

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.

LATENESS: 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: Two cuts in Health class will result in being dropped from the course.
