However, research has shown that high grades are strongly correlated with good attendance. I is a challenging course and good attendance is imperative for your success. If you can at all avoid it, do not miss class. Please do everything is your power to schedule doctor, dentist and other appointments after school hours. Vacations during the year will put undue stress on you because all homework is due upon the first day you return.
Class starts as soon as the bell rings.
You are expected to be in your seat working when the bell rings. I will enforce Oakton s and the science department s tardy policy. No work may be made up for unexcused absences. For any unscheduled excused absence, work can be made up no later than the following week. If you know you will be gone from class, please see me to get your assignments before you leave.
