Students should develop the habit of arriving on time, using class time wisely, and working until the end of class. Students are expected to complete all quizzes, tests, and exams on the day given. About one-third of the students' grade will be based on quiz grades. Another one-third will be based on grades from unit exams. Guidance counselors and the school administration may also be involved.
Students are responsible for homework assigned and tests completed in their absence.
In other words, it is the student's responsibility to schedule make-up tests and to obtain materials needed to complete missed work. Zeros will be placed routinely in the gradebook until missed material is made up. In the case of prolonged absences AND single-day absences, students will ask classmates to bring home extra copies of handouts or have parents make arrangements for pickups through the guidance office. If all else fails, contact the teacher for advice. Class time will not be taken for file searching or answering questions about yesterday's class assignments.
