Attendance
In order to be an active and successful student, it’s vital that
you are present for all class activities, thus promptness to
class is expected.  Students who do not arrive to class by the
bell will be asked for a pass.  Names of students who do not
have passes will be submitted to the administration per
school policy.  Try your very best to be present at the
beginning of the period.

Please also remember students are afforded twelve
absences per semester.  Students who exceed these totals
for any reason may lose credit for the course.

Assignments
In order to promote active learning, students are expected to
submit all assignments on time.  Those students who do not
submit an assignment when originally requested may be
subject to a penalty in score.  Students who experience
difficulty in completing assignments are encouraged to
schedule a meeting time in order to arrange a ‘make-up’
plan.

Dress Code
Students are expected to follow the school policy regarding
dress code.  Students perceived by the teacher to be in
violation will be sent to the Assistant Principal’s office.

Language
The language arts classroom encourages students to use
their language in creative and artistic forms; however,
students are also reminded to be cognizant of audience and
setting within their communication encounters.  Thus,
students are expected to use language which is both
expressive as well as respectful of the classroom
environment and community.  Students who choose to use
inappropriate language will be subject to a conference and
potential disciplinary measures.
