Procedures for Tardiness

You are considered late if you are not in the classroom when the tardy bell rings. If you are late
for class, you must get a tardy pass.

Procedures for Absence

Good attendance is important for students success. When the student is absent, it is his/her
responsibility to make up assignments or tests in a timely manner. If your absence is planned,
communicate with your teacher in advance. If not, communicate as soon as you return.

Daily assignments can be made up at home or during tutorials. Tests can only be made up
during tutorials.

Note: You have until the end of the six weeks to make up assignments. No assignments will be
accepted after the last day of the six weeks.
