Quizzes: Announced and
unannounced quizzes will be given each marking quarter.
Tests: Tests will be
given at the end of each concept taught.
These may be in the form of paper/pencil or online. Any student absent for a test must make
arrangements to take the test either before or after school.
Attendance: All assignments missed during excused
absences must be made up within the prescribed time limit, which is two days
for each day missed. However, this
does not excuse the student from work assigned when the student was present
in class. It is the student’s
obligation and responsibility to find out what work was missed. There will be no opportunity for makeup work
for unexcused absences.

Policy for Severe Behavior
Severely disruptive behavior such as
repeated disruptions, fighting, cursing, physical assault, or verbal abuse of
the teacher will result in immediate referral to the assistant principal or
school security officer.
Consequences for Disruptive Behavior
1st Offense: A verbal warning will
be given when a minor classroom or school rule is broken, unless the discipline
code calls for a referral.
2nd Offense: A 2nd verbal warning
will be given and may be accompanied by a telephone call to the parent/
guardian. If a conference is necessary, it will be scheduled through Guidance.
3rd Offense: If the problem persists
after a verbal warning, students will be given a detention, which will be
accompanied by a telephone call to the parent/ guardian.
4th Offense: If the problem persists
after a detention, a discipline referral will be given.
Specific Behavior Violations
The instructor is particularly
strict with enforcing the consequence for insubordination towards the teacher.
Please do not argue with the teacher during class. If you feel you were wrongly
identified as misbehaving, submit your explanation in writing and/or prepare to
discuss the matter calmly with the teacher after class or after school. If you
do not follow this procedure, you will receive a detention and/or be sent to
internal suspension. This policy is for the good of the group; please respect
that.
