PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING POLICIES CAREFULLY. SIGN AND GIVE
THESE TO YOUR PARENTS TO READ AND SIGN. THEN RETURN THIS SHEET TO ME. THANKS.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
In an event that a student misses
class she is responsible for making up the work and turning it in to me
personally. If, after consulting Edline,
she should be unclear about what she missed, she is to come visit with me in my
office, Room 235, the day she returns to school and we will discuss her missing
assignments, and set a reasonable due date for them to be handed in.
If a student is out of school for
an unusually long period of time due to a serious illness, she is responsible
to come visit with me on her return to school in my office so that we may set
reasonable due dates for turning in the missed work.
If a student knows she will be out
of school for a specific reason, she should make an appointment with me BEFORE
she leaves so that we can arrange together a method of accomplishing the tasks
she will miss while away. The work missed must be handed into me the day the
student returns to school.
MAKE-UP WORK POLICY
Major Composition Assignments
If a student is absent as a result
of illness on the day a major composition is due, she is to turn the
composition in to me on the day she returns to school. If a student is not
absent on a day a major composition is due but the assignment is not completed
or is handed in late, she will receive a zero on the original composition and
will not have the benefit of a conference. I will still correct the
composition, return it to the student for a revision without the benefit of a
conference and if the revision is turned in on time it will receive a grade.
Tests/Quizzes
If a student is absent for a quiz
or test, she needs to come and visit with me in my office on the day she
returns in order to make up the work missed.
