There are no excused absences only reasons for being absent. Students make up lost time and meet deadlines by working on projects before or after school. If a client finds a mistake, the student re-does the project on his or her own time. Students quickly learn to do it right the first time. All students are expected to demonstrate a code of personal honor based on courtesy, integrity, common sense and respect for others.
Confidentiality concerning a client s work is essential.
If students fail to respect the privacy of their customers, they are expelled from the class and receive no credit. Incentive points are assigned to students who secure work on their own. Customers confidential evaluations are placed in students folders. The 1997-98 school year is the fifth year the class has been offered. As a reputation for quality has spread through the school and community, expectations have also increased.
