Academic Policies
Attendance: You are expected to attend class daily, on time and prepared. If you are absent, check the daily log on my website. “I was absent” is not an excuse for missing work. Coming late to class three times equals a lunch detention.
Make-up Work: Late assignments will be marked down. I will set deadlines for when I will stop accepting late work (either the end of the unit or the end of a marking period). Once the unit or marking period is over, there will be no make-up work accepted.
Office Hours: If you have questions, concerns, or just want a quiet place to do work, talk to me. We’ll figure out a time and place that works for you. Struggling students may be required to attend tutoring on a case-by-case basis.
