and working use of processes, materials and vocabulary. You will be responsible for an organized journal, several
quizzes, final exam, daily work and projects.

it is your responsibility to set up a time before or after school, Hawk Hour and or during Seminar to complete the assignment.**

Attendance/Makeup Policy
Absence is defined as 5 minutes or more out of class/ late to class. All absences must be cleared up
through the office, on your own time, within 24 hours. Failure to do so results in an unexcused absence.

Excused Absences will allow the student the opportunity to make up the work missed during the
absence. If you are absent the date an assignment is due, it must be turned in the day you return.
All due dates for long term project are not subject to change, except in the event of an extensive
absence of three days or more in a row.

Unexcused Absences prohibit the student from making up credit missed during the absence.
However, it is recommended work is completed for daily upkeep.

Tardy Policy
If you will not make it to class by the bell you need to check in at the tardy table. No students will
be admitted to class after the bell without a pass from the tardy table. Any student more than 5
min. late to class will be counted ABSENT for the hour.

Ending class:
I will let you know when we will start cleaning up for the day. Clean up procedures for each day will be
posted. The bell is a signal for me to dismiss you.
